Improved User Experience

Alongside our newly supported data sources, CData engineers have implemented changes to improve our users' experience with our tools.

UI Updates

The CData V22 release improves the connection dialog box UI of our ODBC Drivers. It serves to improve metadata preview and navigation and makes it easier to modify queries in the available UI.

These updates introduce a few new tabs in the connection dialog boxes to help the user quickly preview the metadata and make any necessary changes to the query. That means users don't have to relaunch the dialog box to edit the query to get the result that they really need. These tabs allow users to preview the metadata from their tables or an existing custom view they have created.

Additionally, we've updated and improved the user experience within our SSIS provider. This includes improved column mapping between the source and destination.

Single Installer

Starting with this release, we are improving user experience after the trial process by providing a single installer for both Trial and Licensed installations. That means users no longer need one installer for trialing our products and a second installer after purchasing.

Hierarchy Design

This release includes a new hierarchy design for driver properties. Each CData Driver now has a JSON document that describes how to build custom connection dialog UIs. The JSON document can be queried from the driver and customers can build a UI that is more functional for their use, providing deeper value for app developers and our OEM customers.

Simplified Access for MuleSoft and BizTalk Customers

Based on customer feedback and decreased interest over time, we are deprecating our MuleSoft Connectors and BizTalk Adapters. Despite this deprecation, CData still supports data connectivity from MuleSoft and BizTalk platforms.

Using JDBC in MuleSoft AnyPoint Studio

CData JDBC Drivers provide access to data in MuleSoft (along with any other tool, platform, or framework that supports JDBC connections).

For an example of connecting to data in MuleSoft AnyPoint Studio using a CData JDBC Driver, please read our Knowledge Base article (this article features Snowflake, but all 250+ sources are supported): Access Snowflake Data in Mule Applications Using the CData JDBC Driver

Using ADO.NET in BizTalk (Coming Soon)

In the coming months, CData will release a BizTalk Adapter that will allow customers to access any of the 250+ supported data sources in BizTalk Orchestrations using the CData ADO.NET Providers.

By using ADO.NET Providers, existing customers will be able to work with their data in BizTalk and any other application that supports connecting via ADO.NET. Keep an eye out for future announcements around this release.
