Removal of unsupported JDBC connectors

Retool removed some JDBC connectors that were inadvertently included in certain self-hosted release versions. These include:

  • Actian Ingres/Vector JDBC Driver.
  • Clickhouse JDBC Driver.
  • IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC.
  • IBM Informix JDBC Driver.
  • Trino JDBC driver.

These JDBC connectors are not supported by Retool for self-hosted deployments. If you have created a JDBC resource using these connectors, update its configuration as needed to make use of your own preferred JDBC drivers.

Retool has since released patch updates for affected releases that remove these connectors.

Deprecation of Databricks connector version 1.0

Amritansh Gupta
Software Engineer

Retool has deprecated version 1.0 of the Databricks connector. If your organization has any Databricks resources that still use this connector version, update the resource configuration to use the version 2.0 connector.

Self-hosted customers must also enable the Java DBConnector to use version 2.0 of Databricks connector.

Change the connector version from the Databricks resource's configuration settings. Any existing queries that previously worked with version 1.0 will continue to work with version 2.0.

The option to use version 1.0 of the Databricks connector will be removed in Q2 2025 from Retool Cloud and subsequent releases of self-hosted Retool.

Deprecation of MySQL Connector version 1.0

Software Engineer

Retool has deprecated version 1.0 of the MySQL connector. If your organization has any MySQL resources that still use this connector version, update their configuration to use the version 2.0 connector.

The option to use version 1.0 of the MySQL connector will be removed in Q2 2025 from Retool Cloud and subsequent releases of self-hosted Retool.

Amazon SQS integration

Himanshu Bhandoh
Software Engineer

Retool now supports Amazon SQS. You can use the Amazon SQS integration in Retool Apps and Retool Workflows to send, receive, and delete messages from a queue. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.

Kafka integration

Himanshu Bhandoh
Software Engineer

Retool now supports Apache Kafka. You can use the Kafka integration in apps and workflows to produce, consume, or commit messages to a topic. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.

Custom AI providers

Huy Quang Pham
Software Engineer

You can now connect any AI provider that adheres to the OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Cohere schema. This enables you to connect from a wide range of AI providers, such as Mistral, Fireworks AI, Together AI, and OpenRouter.

Organizations with increased security and compliance requirements can also configure custom AI providers if they need to route traffic through their own proxies.

New resource permission levels

Resources now have additional permission levels. This make it easier to build apps with sensitive data in a secured way.

  • The Use permission grants users permission run queries on a given resource. This means administrators can now control access to sensitive resources without needing to control access to different apps.
  • For Retool organizations on the Enterprise plan, resource permissions can also be granted at the environment level.
