    April

    April 9, 2024 - JDBC V2 v2.6.1

    The JDBC V2 connector is updated to v2.6.1.

    • Fixed a pagination issue that limited the number of records returned.

    • Added support for pagination of IBM Db2 (version 11 and earlier) by using a template sub-query:

      -- add any WHERE, ORDER BY clauses as needed following your_table
      SELECT * FROM ( SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER () AS row_num FROM your_table ) AS subquery WHERE row_num BETWEEN :offset + 1 AND (:offset + :limit)
    • Fixed an issue where UTF-8 characters stored as CLOB data types didn’t index properly.

    February

    February 20, 2024 - JDBC V2 v2.6.0

    The JDBC V2 connector is updated to v2.6.0 and implements a pagination feature. This allow the JDBC connector to ingest a specified number of rows during the crawl process.

    This feature is controlled by following newly added properties:

    • LIMIT - specifies the number of rows returned in the results.

    • OFFSET - dictates the number of rows to skip from the beginning of the returned data before presenting the results.

    • disableAutomaticPagination - disables automatic pagination to ignore limit and offset fields.
