Changelog

[5.2.0] - 2020-07-20

This release introduces new generic webhooks for a variety of events, while deprecating specific communication implementations (SMTP email and Slack). With webhooks, it is up to you to implement communication to your SQLPad users.

The webhooks added support a larger number of events than previously handled, such as queries being run and results/error received from those queries.

• Add webhooks documentation
• Deprecate SMTP email and Slack webhook, both to be removed in v6.
• Capture database error message on ODBC driver connection error
• Show service token UI only if enabled via config (#787)
• CrateDB - provide separate user, password, and SSL fields (#793)
• Fix multiline string support in sql-limiter
• Fix regular expression constraint in sql-limiter

[5.1.0] - 2020-07-10

• Add OpenID Connect authentication support
• Add .env config file support
• Fix disabled admin on initial SQLPad load when using seed queries
• Deprecate INI and JSON config files support
• Environment variables renamed for better consistency. Old name is deprecated:
  • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID ➡ SQLPAD_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
  • GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET ➡ SQLPAD_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
  • DISABLE_AUTH ➡ SQLPAD_AUTH_DISABLED
  • SQLPAD_DISABLE_AUTH_DEFAULT_ROLE ➡ SQLPAD_AUTH_DISABLED_DEFAULT_ROLE
  • DISABLE_USERPASS_AUTH ➡ SQLPAD_USERPASS_AUTH_DISABLED
  • ENABLE_LDAP_AUTH ➡ SQLPAD_LDAP_AUTH_ENABLED
  • LDAP_URL ➡ SQLPAD_LDAP_URL
  • LDAP_BASE_DN ➡ SQLPAD_LDAP_BASE_DN
  • LDAP_USERNAME ➡ SQLPAD_LDAP_USERNAME
  • LDAP_PASSWORD ➡ SQLPAD_LDAP_PASSWORD
  • CERT_PATH ➡ SQLPAD_HTTPS_CERT_PATH
  • CERT_PASSPHRASE ➡ SQLPAD_HTTPS_CERT_PASSPHRASE
  • KEY_PATH ➡ SQLPAD_HTTPS_KEY_PATH
  • SERVICE_TOKEN_SECRET ➡ SQLPAD_SERVICE_TOKEN_SECRET

[5.0.0] - 2020-07-03

Version 5 contains many infrastructure and API changes, as well as migrations that are not easy to roll back from. It is highly recommended take a backup of your database (SQLPAD_DB_PATH directory and/or your backend db in use).

This release finishes the migration from an embedded JSON database to an ORM and SQLite (used by default). For new instances of SQLPad, the following alternative backend databases may be used: SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL via SQLPAD_BACKEND_DB_URI.

Providing a value for SQLPAD_DB_PATH/dbPath is still required, as the filesystem is still used for sessions and storage of query results. This requirement will be removed in a later 5.x release.

Migrations will be run on SQLPad start up. To disable this behavior, set SQLPAD_DB_AUTOMIGRATE to false. Migrations may be run manually via node server.js --config path/to/file.ext --migrate. When using --migrate the process will exit after applying migrations.

Special thanks to @eladeyal-intel, @bruth, @yorek, @dengc367, @murphyke, and @Wizhi, for all their contributions in this release!

Enhancements

• Column descriptions added for Google BigQuery

• Added MySQL 2 driver

• Add Redshift driver

• Add ClickHouse driver

• Add ActiveDirectory authentication

• Multi-transaction statement option made available for MySQL/MySQL 2 drivers

• Connection dropdown hidden if user is non-admin and only 1 connection exists

• Connection may be pre-selected via URL query parameter connectionId or connectionName

• Add default role when using disabling auth (SQLPAD_DISABLE_AUTH_DEFAULT_ROLE). editor is used by default.

• Users may be enabled/disabled to restrict access (alternative to deletion)

• Migrations may be run on their own using --migration

• Automigration may be disabled with SQLPAD_DB_AUTOMIGRATE

• Server side filtering and pagination added for queries API

• ODBC - limit strategies added for configuring method used to enforce query row limits

• Test connection error shown

• New /batches API for running multi-statement SQL. This replaces /query-result API, and is written in a more RESTful approach, removing the need to extend SQLPad timeouts. See API docs for more info.

• Adds allowedDomains config item and deprecates whitelistedDomains to be removed in v6.

Breaking

• Only admins may see all query history

• denyMultipleStatements connection option removed. Multiple statements are now attempted to be supported at SQLPad REST API level via batches and statements API.

• /download-results/ API has been removed in favor of /statement-results/, which is similar but based on statementId instead of cacheKey. See API docs for more info.

• debug config option removed. Use appLogLevel set to debug instead.

• tableChartLinksRequireAuth config option removed.

  All table/chart links require authentication going forward. If unauthenticated access to these URLs is necessary, look into whether an alternate auth solution may be used to passively provide authentication as necessary (like auth proxy for example.)

• data model changes:

  • createdDate fields have been renamed to createdAt (created_at in table)
  • modifiedDate fields have been renamed to updatedAt (updated_at in table)
  • user.signupDate renamed to user.signupAt (signup_at in table)
  • query.modifiedBy renamed to query.updatedBy (updated_by in table)
  • query.createdBy and query.updatedBy now hold user id as opposed to user email address.
  • query.lastAccessDate is removed. It was no different from updatedAt
  • Connection driver-specific fields have been moved to connection.data. Fields are still decorated on base of connection object for compatibility.
  • cache table has changed to use id instead of cacheKey.
  • cache.expiration has renamed to cache.expiryDate for consistency with other models
  • cache.queryName has renamed to cache.name for more generic use
  • cache.schema has been renamed to cache.data and stores raw JSON for generic use

• Regex filter for query history no longer supported

• Config file without an .json or .ini extension will be assumed to be JSON. Specific extensions will be required in a future release.

• Config file that does not exist will throw an error at startup instead of silently ignoring.

[4.4.0] - 2020-04-22

• Adds ability to set initial default connection via configuration defaultConnectionId. (Only for initial load. User connections are then cached locally)
• Changes default query list filter to "all queries" instead of "my queries".
• Defaults schema sidebar to open, and removes local caching of toggle selection.
• Fixes autocomplete missing when schema sidebar is hidden on load.
• Updates dependencies

[4.3.0] - 2020-04-16

• Support multiple datasets in BigQuery connection
• Fix sql splitting for strings containing ;

[4.2.0] - 2020-04-06

Features

• Add Google BigQuery support documentation

• Add SQLite support documentation

• Adds batch query support to ODBC (last statement is shown in UI)

• Auth: Add option to disable authentication. documentation

  When auth is disabled, application no longer requires authentication.

• Auth: Add proxy authentication support. documentation

• Add private/shared query model.

  Going forward queries are private by default. When sharing is enabled, query is shared with all users (and they are given write permissions). Finer-grained access to be added in the future (share with specific user, read vs write)

• Add connection and query seed data support documentation

• Add service tokens (api tokens). New menu option is available when logged in as admin.

• Add application header for application-level administration

• Adds multi-statement transaction support for Postgres, SQLite, and ODBC. documentation

• Add config deprecation for following keys: debug, tableChartLinksRequireAuth, keyPath, certPath, certPassphrase

• Add connection template support documentation

• Adds additional query run logging for queries executed and details surrounding them (logged under info level)

Fixes

• Fix: long connection form display to always show save/test buttons

• Use ISO 8601 timestamps for log messages instead of unix epoch

Maintenance / Misc / Dev updates

• Updated dependencies
• Introduced SQLite as backing store. nedb data (embedded db currently in use) will eventually be migrated to SQLite.
• Added migration framework. Migrations are run at server startup.
• Added mult-stage build
• Lots of refactoring to better organize authentication, addition of new features.

[4.1.1] - 2020-03-10

• Fix auth for email addresses containing + and quoted @ characters

[4.1.0] - 2020-02-25

Features

• Add Snowflake driver/support (#519)

• Add MS SQL Server readOnly intent option (#520)

• Add logging using pino (#527, #547)

  SQLPad now logs json messages to stdout using the pino library. Amount of logging can be controlled by setting appLogLevel and webLogLevel for application and web logs respectively. Pino does not manage log transport, but has an ecosystem of tooling available that does http://getpino.io/#/docs/transports.

• Allow dynamic user data in connection configuration (#544)

  Connections can have user values dynamically substituted in connection configuration values containing text values. This is a work-in-progress and can be used for adventurous. See PR for details, otherwise more info and corresponding UI will come with future releases.

• Add GitHub Release builds via build pipeline (#550)

• Add dbInMemory setting (#553)

  dbInMemory will run the embedded SQLPad db in memory without logging to disk. Enabling this does not remove the need for dbPath at this time, as filesystem access is still required for result caches and express session support. (dbPath to become optional in future release)

Fixes

• Fix TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt (#522)
• Fix tests for non-utc timezones (#524)

Maintenance

• Update server dependencies (#525)
• Maintenance & refactoring (#534, #535, #538, #539, #540, #541, #542, #543, #545, #551, #552, #553)

SQLPad v3 is a UI redesign/refresh along with a large file structure change and configuration change. It has been in "beta" for quite some time, and if you are running the latest docker image or running a recent build of master, you've already been using it.

Features

• URLs in query results will be turned into links
• SAML authentication support
• Remember selected connection id / schema toggle
• Configurable session time and secret
• Support for JSON and INI config file added. File should config using key fields found in configItems.js. Config file path default is $HOME/.sqlpadrc and may otherwise be specified using --config via command line or SQLPAD_CONFIG environment variable.

Breaking changes

• CLI flags have been changed to use config item key (#460)
• Default db path is no longer used if db path is not provided in config. Previous default was $HOME/sqlpad/db.
• Default config file path no longer used. Previous default was $HOME/.sqlpadrc.
• Configuration UI has been removed. See sqlpad#447.
• cli-flags in saved .sqlpadrc JSON are no longer used for config values. These configuration keys should instead be switched the the key found in configItems.js. For example, instead of dir or db, use dbPath. Instead of cert-passphrase use certPassphrase, etc.
• --save and --forget cli flags no longer supported

Fixes

• Fix preview sticking around after query selection
• Fix tag/search input in query list
• Add loading indicator for schema sidebar
• Fix user needing to sign in again after sign up
• Fix app menu for non-admin users
• Fix frozen editor after query error

[3.0.0] - 2019-09-01

This build is broken. sorry :(

[3.0.0-beta.1] - 2019-06-25

Beta for version 3 may be installed via latest docker image, or by installing via npm referencing exact version or beta tag.

SQLPad v3 is backwards-compatible with SQLPad v2 database files, and is mostly a UI redesign/refresh and a large file structure change. Give it a try and if you aren't ready for it roll back to v2 and everything should still work.

Editor-first UI refresh

UI components previously based on bootstrap UI components are now replaced by custom components. Magenta is embraced as a secondary color.

Management and listing pages (Queries, connections, users, and configuration) have been moved into side drawers, allowing management and browsing of things without leaving the current query. The query editor is the primary focus of the application.

Query editor toolbars have been consolidated into a single bar to maximize use of space on the page.

Unsaved changes to a previously-saved query are now saved, prompting the user to restore on next open. This is not enabled for unsaved changes to "new" queries since it could become an annoyance, but can be added if there is interest.

Query result chart has been moved to a smaller resizable pane along side the SQL query instead of being placed in a tab. This impacts the size available for the chart, but brings it to the default view, allowing altering of the query without changing tabs.

The schema sidebar may now be hidden and is now searchable. It has also been rewritten to render large trees efficiently.

Query result grid no longer has data bars for numeric values since it didn't make sense for all number values. Date value display logic has been altered to only show timestamps if timestamps are detected. When timestamps are shown, the full timestamp from the JavaScript date object is displayed.
