v0.1.7

• Added Configure Secrets support to databricks labs remorph configure-secrets cli command (#254). The Configure Secrets feature has been implemented in the databricks labs remorph CLI command, specifically for the new configure-secrets command. This addition allows users to establish Scope and Secrets within their Databricks Workspace, enhancing security and control over resource access. The implementation includes a new recon_config_utils.py file in the databricks/labs/remorph/helpers directory, which contains classes and methods for managing Databricks Workspace secrets. Furthermore, the ReconConfigPrompts helper class has been updated to handle prompts for selecting sources, entering secret scope names, and handling overwrites. The CLI command has also been updated with a new configure_secrets function and corresponding tests to ensure correct functionality.
• Added handling for invalid alias usage by manipulating the AST (#219). The recent commit addresses the issue of invalid alias usage in SQL queries by manipulating the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It introduces a new method, unalias_lca_in_select, which unaliases Lateral Column Aliases (LCA) in the SELECT clause of a query. The AliasInfo class is added to manage aliases more effectively, with attributes for the name, expression, and a flag indicating if the alias name is the same as a column. Additionally, the execute.py file is modified to check for unsupported LCA using the lca_utils.check_for_unsupported_lca method, improving the system's robustness when handling invalid aliases. Test cases are also added in the new file, test_lca_utils.py, to validate the behavior of the check_for_unsupported_lca function, ensuring that SQL queries are correctly formatted for Snowflake dialect and avoiding errors due to invalid alias usage.
• Added support for databricks labs remorph generate-lineage CLI command (#238). A new CLI command, databricks labs remorph generate-lineage, has been added to generate lineage for input SQL files, taking the source dialect, input, and output directories as arguments. The command uses existing logic to generate a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and then creates a DOT file in the output directory using the DAG. The new command is supported by new functions _generate_dot_file_contents, lineage_generator, and methods in the RootTableIdentifier and DAG classes. The command has been manually tested and includes unit tests, with plans for adding integration tests in the future. The commit also includes a new method temp_dirs_for_lineage and updates to the configure_secrets_databricks method to handle a new source type "databricks". The command handles invalid input and raises appropriate exceptions.
• Custom oracle tokenizer (#316). In this release, the remorph library has been updated to enhance its handling of Oracle databases. A custom Oracle tokenizer has been developed to map the LONG datatype to text (string) in the tokenizer, allowing for more precise parsing and manipulation of LONG columns in Oracle databases. The Oracle dialect in the configuration file has also been updated to utilize the new custom Oracle tokenizer. Additionally, the Oracle class from the snow module has been imported and integrated into the Oracle dialect. These improvements will enable the remorph library to manage Oracle databases more efficiently, with a particular focus on improving the handling of the LONG datatype. The commit also includes updates to test files in the functional/oracle/test_long_datatype directory, which ensure the proper conversion of the LONG datatype to text. Furthermore, a new test file has been added to the tests/unit/snow directory, which checks for compatibility with Oracle's long data type. These changes enhance the library's compatibility with Oracle databases, ensuring accurate handling and manipulation of the LONG datatype in Oracle SQL and Databricks SQL.
• Removed strict source dialect checks (#284). In the latest release, the transpile and generate_lineage functions in cli.py have undergone changes to allow for greater flexibility in source dialect selection. Previously, only snowflake or tsql dialects were supported, but now any source dialect supported by SQLGLOT can be used, controlled by the SQLGLOT_DIALECTS dictionary. Providing an unsupported source dialect will result in a validation error. Additionally, the input and output folder paths for the generate_lineage function are now validated against the file system to ensure their existence and validity. In the install.py file of the databricks/labs/remorph package, the source dialect selection has been updated to use SQLGLOT_DIALECTS.keys(), replacing the previous hardcoded list. This change allows for more flexibility in selecting the source dialect. Furthermore, recent updates to various test functions in the test_install.py file suggest that the source selection process has been modified, possibly indicating the addition of new sources or a change in source identification. These modifications provide greater flexibility in testing and potentially in the actual application.
• Set Catalog, Schema from default Config (#312). A new feature has been added to our open-source library that allows users to specify the catalog and schema configuration options as part of the transpile command-line interface (CLI). If these options are not provided, the transpile function in the cli.py file will now set them to the values specified in default_config. This ensures that a default catalog and schema are used if they are not explicitly set by the user. The labs.yml file has been updated to reflect these changes, with the addition of the catalog-name and schema-name options to the commands object. The default property of the validation object has also been updated to true, indicating that the validation step will be skipped by default. These changes provide increased flexibility and ease-of-use for users of the transpile functionality.
• Support for Null safe equality join for databricks generator (#280). In this release, we have implemented support for a null-safe equality join in the Databricks generator, addressing issue #280. This feature introduces the use of the " <=> " operator in the generated SQL code instead of the is not distinct from syntax to ensure accurate comparisons when NULL values are present in the columns being joined. The Generator class has been updated with a new method, NullSafeEQ, which takes in an expression and returns the binary version of the expression using the " <=> " operator. The preprocess method in the Generator class has also been modified to include this new functionality. It is important to note that this change may require users to update their existing code to align with the new syntax in the Databricks environment. With this enhancement, the Databricks generator is now capable of performing null-safe equality joins, resulting in consistent results regardless of the presence of NULL values in the join conditions.
