Snowflake Database (via JDBC): Snowflake expression parser improvements

Added support for connections at Database.Schema level.

All Talend Data Catalog licenses

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Athena Database (via JDBC): redesigned the creation of connection

When using the -location.import option in the miscellaneous bridge parameter, the bridge creates a connection based on the table location information. In turn, the bridge gets the table location from Athena using the "DESCRIBE EXTENDED schema.tableName" statement. The creation of this connection is redesigned.

The case that the table location has "/" at the end and the source folder is located under the bucket is also fixed.

SAP Business Warehouse 4 HANA (BW/4HANA): support for Primary Key Field of ADSO

Added support for Primary Key Field of ADSO. This improvement requires an update to the ABAP script.

With regard to backward compatibility:
  • If the ABAP script version is not the latest, a warning will be printed in the log and the bridge uses the script anyway with limited metadata capability.
  • If the ABAP script version is the latest, the bridge uses the script for maximum metadata capability.
