New features
This release contains the following new features and enhancements:
-
A new option is available that bypasses any data model validation rules or constraints, and imports, or transfers data as is. This option can be used in a data management architecture that includes landing, staging, and master zones. If the same data model is shared across all zones, constraints could prevent data from successfully importing into the landing zone. Forcing the import or transfer provides a workaround to this issue.
-
Load performance was improved for the options screen in instances where many related tables are included.
-
Support for templates was added when using the SQL import or export services in workflows and perspectives.
-
To improve readability, the data model variant name display format was updated.
Changes in Functionality
Previously, if the Delimiter field was left blank, the add-on automatically applied a default double-quote delimiter. This behavior was changed so that if left empty, no delimiter is applied unless data includes a special formatting character, such as a line break, or field separator. In these cases, the default double-quote delimiter is automatically applied.
Changes to third-party libraries
The Apache Commons Compress library was updated to version 1.26.

Fonts are no longer shipped with the JDK 11. Font rendering in Java 11 JVMs now uses pre-installed operating system fonts. This can cause issues in Linux environments when exporting Excel files. As a workaround, you can install the

Due to a limitation in Excel, long fields with the number data type display all numbers past the 16th place as a 0.
