Microsoft SQL integration version 3.0 restores support for array values

Version 3.0 of the Microsoft SQL integration accepts array values in query parameters. Retool converts an array to a comma-separated string before passing it to SQL Server, which matches the behavior of version 1.0.

Retool previously documented this as a breaking change and recommended converting array values with .join(',') before using them with STRING_SPLIT. The restriction was broader than documented: it applied to any query parameter set to an array value, whether or not the query used STRING_SPLIT. Version 3.0 removes the restriction entirely, so queries that pass array values no longer need to be rewritten. Queries that already use .join(',') produce the same value and continue to work without changes.

This was the only known breaking change between version 1.0 and version 3.0. You can now update an existing Microsoft SQL resource from version 1.0 or version 2.0 to version 3.0 without changing your queries. Versions 1.0 and 2.0 are deprecated and will be removed, so Retool recommends updating any resource still using them.

Query parameters set to an object are not supported and cause the query to fail. Convert an object to a string before using it in a query, for example with JSON.stringify.

Self-hosted Retool 4.34 Stable

Self-hosted Retool 4.34.0 is now available on the Stable release channel.

Retool releases a version on the stable channel each quarter. A stable release is generally four versions behind the cloud-hosted version at the time.

Preparation and testing of a stable version occurs approximately four weeks prior to its release. Stable releases are rigorously tested before they are published. As the release cycle is less frequent, administrators can more easily maintain and upgrade deployments.

Retool supports each stable release for six months. During this time, Retool will release patch updates that contain bug fixes or security updates. Patch updates do not contain functionality changes and can be applied more quickly than performing a full version upgrade.

After six months, a stable release is considered deprecated. You can continue using a deprecated release but it will no longer receive updates. At this time, you should upgrade to the latest stable release.
