What Changed
We stopped maintaining and supporting our BigQueryProvider driver for the Google BigQuery SQL database.
Reasons for Change
Google released the official ODBC driver for the BigQuery SQL databases, and our driver is no longer required. We recommend that you use the official driver instead of the BigQueryProvider driver.
Impact on Existing Apps
If you already have the BigQueryProvider driver installed, this change will not affect your application. The installed driver will be used to interact with your Google BigQuery SQL database.
How to Update Existing Apps
If you wish to use the ODBC driver to interact with a Google BigQuery SQL database, do the following:
- Remove the BigQueryProvider driver.
- Install and configure the ODBC driver.
How to Revert to Previous Behavior
If you wish to use the BigQueryProvider driver but don't have it installed yet, just install this driver, and it will be used to interact with your Google BigQuery SQL database.
