     Post-GA Product Announcements
The readme files will no longer be updated with product announcements and new 
features after the General Availability (GA) of the product. For the latest 
updates and enhancements, please refer to the release notes 
(https://www.progress.com/datadirect-connectors/whats-new).


     Requirements

* A supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM) must be defined on your system path.

* The installer program requires a JVM that is Java SE 11 or higher, including
  Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
  
* The driver requires a JVM that is Java SE 8 or higher, including Oracle JDK,
  OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.



     Installation directory

The default installation directory for the driver is:

* Windows:
  C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\JDBC

* UNIX/Linux:
  /opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC
  Note: For UNIX/Linux, if you do not have access to "/opt", your user's
  directory should be used in place of this directory.


    Data Source and Platform Support

For the latest data source and platform support information, refer to the 
Product Compatibility Guide: 
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf  


     Changes since 6.0
     
CVE-2022-41853 - Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
('Unsafe Reflection')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several Progress DataDirect JDBC drivers  utilized a version of HyperSQL
Database that was vulnerable to remote code execution described in
CVE-2022-41853. All impacted drivers have been patched to fix this
vulnerability. For details on impacted drivers and fixed versions, refer to
the following KB article:
https://community.progress.com/s/article/DataDirect-JDBC-Critical-Security-
Bulletin-November-2022-CVE-2022-41853

Documentation
-------------
Any product package made available after August 7, 2020 will not include the
HTML help system or user's guide PDF. The full documentation set, including
these items, is available from the Progress Information Hub:
https://docs.progress.com/category/datadirect-oracle-sales-cloud

While the product packages will not include these documentation items, the
installation Help directory will provide an HTML redirect for direct access
to the HTML help.

Note that all Progress DataDirect for JDBC documentation has been migrated to
the Progress Information Hub:
https://docs.progress.com/
  
Enhancements 
------------
* The driver has been enhanced to comply with FIPS standards for data
  encryption. As part of this enhancement, the driver was tested with
  FIPS 140-3 enabled using a Red Hat OpenJDK 21 on a Red Hat Universal Base
  Image 9 instance.


* The driver has been enhanced to use proxy server settings defined in the JVM
  system properties by default. If no proxy settings are defined in the 
  connection string or data source, the driver will attempt to use the values 
  of the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort JVM system properties to connect to 
  the database.

* The driver has been enhanced to include timestamp in the Spy and JDBC packet
  logs by default. If required, you can disable the timestamp logging by 
  specifying the following at connection: For Spy logs, set 
  spyAttributes=(log=(file)Spy.log;timestamp=no) and for JDBC packet logs,
  set ddtdbg.ProtocolTraceShowTime=false.

* Interactive SQL for JDBC (JDBCISQL) is now installed with the product. 
  JDBCISQL is a command-line interface that supports connecting your driver
  to a data source, executing SQL statements and retrieving results in a 
  terminal. This tool provides a method to quickly test your drivers in an 
  environment that does not support GUIs.  
  
Changed Behavior 
----------------
* The connection property SpyAttributes has been updated to exclude the 
  attribute load=classname, which was previously used to load the driver 
  specified by the given class name. See SpyAttributes for details.
  
* The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or
  higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the
  installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential
  security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE.
  Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for
  the most secure version of a JRE to be used.
 
  Note: This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest 
  driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide:
  https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
  datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf


* Java SE 7 has reached the end of its product life cycle and will no longer 
  receive generally available security updates. As a result, the drivers will 
  no longer support JVMs that are version Java SE 7 or earlier. Support for 
  distributed versions of Java SE 7 and earlier will also end, including
  IBM SDK (Java Edition).  


     Release 6.0 Features

The driver supports SQL read access to Oracle Sales Cloud. To support SQL access
to Oracle Sales Cloud, the driver creates a relational map of the Oracle Sales
Cloud data model and translates SQL statements provided by the application to
Oracle Sales Cloud queries and web service calls.

* The driver supports all JDBC Core functions.

* The driver supports the core SQL-92 grammar.

* The driver supports connecting through a proxy server.

* The driver supports timeout functionality.

* The driver supports the following data types:
  - BOOLEAN        maps to BOOLEAN
  - DECIMAL        maps to DECIMAL
  - INTEGER        maps to INTEGER
  - LONG           maps to BIGINT
  - LONGSTRING     maps to LONGVARCHAR
  - STRING         maps to VARCHAR


     Notes, known problems, and restrictions

The following are notes, known problems, and restrictions with the Oracle
Sales Cloud driver.

Limitations of Proxy Server Support  
-----------------------------------
The driver does not currently support connecting through a proxy server when 
authentication is enabled.

Filter conditions
-----------------
Currently, passing filter conditions only works for simple, single column
conditions. If there are multiple filters with 'AND' and 'OR', only partial or
no filters are passed to Oracle Sales Cloud.

String and Date field metadata
------------------------------
Oracle Sales Cloud reports the data type of String and Date fields as String.
The driver treats these fields as String values. However, when filter conditions
are passed to Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle Sales Cloud distinguishes between the
actual data types and apply Date specific comparisons to Date fields. Therefore,
query results can differ depending on whether filters have been passed down to
Oracle Sales Cloud or processed by the SQL engine embedded in the driver.

Comparison operators
--------------------
There appears to be a limitation with the Oracle Sales Cloud REST API concerning
the >=, <=, and != comparison operators when querying String fields. Therefore,
the driver has not been optimized to pass these comparison operators to Oracle
Sales Cloud. We are working with Oracle on this issue.

Filter operations on Boolean fields
-----------------------------------
There appears to be a limitation with the Oracle Sales Cloud REST API concerning
queries with filter operations on Boolean fields. Therefore, the driver has not
been optimized to pass filter operations on Boolean fields to Oracle Sales
Cloud. We are working with Oracle on this issue.

Attachment type
---------------
The driver currently reports Attachment type fields in the metadata but does not
support retrieving data for these fields. These fields are set to NULL.

Parent-child join queries
-------------------------
Join queries between parent and child tables are not supported.

Parent table with composite primary key
---------------------------------------
Queries on child tables whose parent has a composite primary key are not
supported. For example, the children of ACTIVITIES_ACTIVITYCONTACT and
LEADS_PRODUCTS are not accessible.

Relationship object queries
---------------------------
Queries on the children of relationship objects are not supported. For example,
the children of ACCOUNTS_RELATIONSHIP, CONTACTS_RELATIONSHIP, and
HOUSEHOLDS_RELATIONSHIP are not accessible.

Grandchildren tables with OR clause filter
------------------------------------------
Queries on grandchildren with multiple sets of Parent IDs and Grand Parent IDs
used in an OR clause are not supported. For example, the following query is
not supported.
   select * from ACCOUNTS_ADDRESS_ADDRESSPURPOSE
      where (ACCOUNTS_PARTYNUMBER = 'OSC_12343' AND
             ACCOUNTS_ADDRESS_ADDRESSNUMBER = 'AUNA-2XZKGH')
         or (ACCOUNTS_PARTYNUMBER = 'OSC_12344' AND
             ACCOUNTS_ADDRESS_ADDRESSNUMBER = 'AUNA-2YZKGH')

Document object queries
-----------------------			 
When querying documented objects like "CATALOGPRODUCTITEMS" and
"CATEGORYPRODUCTITEMS", no more than 500 records are returned, even when
more records may be present. This behavior is also seen with some custom
objects. We are currently working with Oracle support to resolve this issue.

OPPORTUNITIES_CHILDREVENUE_PRODUCTS or LEADS_PRODUCTGROUPS queries
------------------------------------------------------------------
A query on OPPORTUNITIES_CHILDREVENUE_PRODUCTS or LEADS_PRODUCTGROUPS with
a filter on the primary key column returns 0 records even when more records
are present. We are currently working with Oracle support to resolve this issue.

Subqueries with more than 100 records
-------------------------------------
Queries that contain subqueries returning more than 100 records are not
supported. For example, the following query is not supported.
   select * from ACCOUNTS_ADDRESS
   where ACCOUNTS_PARTYNUMBER
   in (select top 101 PARTYNUMBER from ACCOUNTS)

Creating custom objects
-----------------------
When you create custom objects, your Oracle Sales Cloud administrator must
enable these objects for REST API access through Application Composer.
Otherwise, you will not be able to query against these custom objects.

Executing DataDirect shell script
---------------------------------
For UNIX/Linux users: If you receive an error message when executing any
DataDirect for JDBC shell script, make sure that the file has EXECUTE
permission. To do this, use the chmod command. For example, to grant EXECUTE
permission to the testforjdbc.sh file, change to the directory containing
testforjdbc.sh and enter: chmod +x testforjdbc.sh
