Release Notes¶

New Features¶

• v2 DDF Support - This version now includes v2 DDF support! By allow the import of data dictionary files containing v2 metadata, BTR2SQL can now import newer table structures without requiring any backporting of the table structure to v1 or contacting Mertech support for other workarounds. This feature is mostly transparent to you. You need to be running v6.1 of our utility and that’s it.

• SQL Server 2022 - v6.1 has added support for SQL Server 2022. The supported version range is now SQL 2012 - 2022. Note that if you are under a support contract for our SQL Server driver, you can contact us to get an updated license file that allows connections to SQL Server 2022.

• MSOLEDBSQL v19.x - v6.1 can now use the latest MSOLEDBSQL client. This client has a new security default that requires a trusted signed certficiate to allow the client to connect. Because this would mostly break everyones ability to connect to their servers we’ve turned off this setting by default. If you’d like to turn it back on there is a new settings named TrustServerCertificate for the MSSQL section of the mds.ini which can have a value of Yes or No that will enable or disable this setting. When set to its default of Yes, the self signed certificate that most servers have by default will be trusted.

• PostgreSQL v15 - We’ve now tested and verified PostgreSQL v15 with the v6.1 driver. Note that if you are under a support contract for our PostgreSQL driver, you can contact us to get an updated license file that allows connections to PostgreSQL v15.
