FAQ for the Vertica jOOQ Upgrade

What is happening?

We plan to upgrade the The jOOQ library for the Vertica Snap Pack is upgraded from v3.9.1 to v3.17.x, which will be part of the Latest release.

Why are we upgrading the Vertica jOOQ library?

...

This upgrade will be available on <TBD> as part of 437patches26900 (Latest release) on June 28, 2024, and will be part of the 4.38 GA release on August 14, 2024 (Stable release).

...

We recommend you investigate your pipelines and check the Snaps downstream of Vertica Snaps for any of the affected scenarios. Update any dependencies that the downstream Snaps might have with respect to the changing error and outputs (especially in expressions) to conform to the new expected errors and outputs.

How

...

In a production Org

  1. If you have a production Org to validate connections to your Vertica instances, you may upload a PostgreSQL JDBC driver JAR compatible with postgres 9.4.1207.jar.

  2. Upload that JAR file to your Org’s shared folder and specify it in the PostgreSQL Account.

  3. Validate the account.

  4. After you verify that the updated JDBC driver works, you may remove it.

How do you override the behavior changes?

Behavior Changes

This library upgrade will result resulted in specific behavior changes in the Snap Pack. These changes are for status codes and success and failure messages. This table lists these changes:

  • Previously, when you passed NaN to Date/Integer/Timestamp data type, the Vertica -Execute Snap displayed a null value in the reason for the error message. The Snap now displays a query in the reason.

  • Change in the output message of Vertica Snaps where the Snaps displayed date, time, and timestamp as objects in the output message. Now, the Snap displays the values directly.
