ODC V4.3.2

Considerations

• Data sources

  • In ODC V4.2.0 and later, the concept of connection configuration is replaced with data source.

  • In ODC V4.2.0 and later, private connections are migrated to the individual workspace and exist as data sources.

  • In ODC V4.2.0 and later, public connections are migrated to the team workspace and exist as data sources.

  • In ODC V4.2.0 and later, for the read-only and read/write accounts in original public connections, only the read/write accounts are retained after the upgrade.

• User permissions

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, the private_connection and apply_connection roles are unavailable. In other words, the permissions of the two roles referenced by users no longer take effect after the upgrade to ODC V4.2.x.

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, the resource group feature is obsolete.

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, connection access permissions are obsolete. In ODC V4.2.x, database access control is implemented through project management.

• System settings

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, this feature is obsolete.

• Ticket module

  • Tickets initiated in versions earlier than ODC V4.2.0 can be viewed only on the Initiated by Me tab.

• Partitioning plans

  • This feature is upgraded in ODC V4.2.0. After the upgrade to ODC V4.2.x, historical partitioning plans created in versions earlier than V4.2.0 will stop running.

• SQL plans

  • This feature is upgraded in ODC V4.2.0. After the upgrade to ODC V4.2.x, historical SQL plans created in versions earlier than V4.2.0 will stop running.

• Task process

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, this feature is obsolete. ODC V4.2.x provides the risk level module for equivalent effects.

• Data desensitization

  • This feature is upgraded in ODC V4.2.0. After the upgrade to ODC V4.2.x, the data desensitization configurations created in versions earlier than V4.2.0 no longer take effect.

• Bastion host integration

  • In ODC V4.2.2, account integration and automatic data source configuration are supported. At present, SQL approval integration is not supported and will be supported in later versions.

• Session history

  • Starting from ODC V4.2.0, this feature is obsolete. In ODC V4.2.x, the usage status of an SQL window is saved by default.

ODC V4.3.2

OceanBase Developer Center (ODC) V4.3.2 released in September 2024 enhances the following features:

• Support for logical databases: ODC V4.3.2 introduces new logical database features to provide a quick, reliable, and easy-to-use change basis for database and table sharding. The new features include logical database configuration, access privilege management, logical table obtaining and creation, and execution of data definition language (DDL) changes.

• Archive link extension: ODC V4.3.2 adds two archive links to support archiving data from an Oracle database to an Oracle-compatible tenant of OceanBase Database and from a PostgreSQL database to a MySQL-compatible tenant of OceanBase Database, on the basis of the archive link supported in ODC V4.3.1 from a MySQL database to a MySQL-compatible tenant of OceanBase Database.

• SQL development and data source management optimization: ODC V4.3.2 improves the usability of the SQL development page, data sources, and forms and optimizes more than 10 features such as the location key, resource tree object, and SQL execution result.

For more information, see the Feature updates section.
