Week in Review -- November 13, 2017

New Features

  • We are pleased to announce a significant speed boost to Snowflake load to workspace (also speeding up Input Mapping inTransformations). For tables with primary keys the speed difference is up to 80%.
  • We have also simplified our database extractors, as we mentioned here last week.
  • Fixed CSV Import. The component generates meta-data now.

Minor Imporvements

  • We have updated our Terms and Conditions.
    Per section 14.3 of our Master Software Subscription Agreement, we would like to notify you of a change to the Agreement and its new version released November 10th. The purpose of this change was to provide further protection to Client Data and to comply with requirements of some third party providers (namely Google). We do not consider this change to be a material change, however we are obliged to provide you with this notification. There is no action required from you in relation to this change if you accept it. We are setting out the original and revised language for your review below. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns at legal@keboola.com.
