Explore the 2026.0 Major Release for CData Drivers and Connectors
Blog post from CData
CData Drivers and Connectors 2026.0 introduces CData CLI, a local command-line tool that enables AI coding assistants to access live enterprise schemas and metadata, generate and validate SQL, and build applications across hundreds of data sources without custom API wiring or runtime LLM dependencies. The release adds enterprise drivers for Anaplan, SAP Business Warehouse, and Suadeo, providing SQL-based access to planning, warehouse, and governed data platforms. It also modernizes Sage Intacct connectivity through REST API support and dynamic schemas, while adding Odoo External JSON-2 API support ahead of the retirement of legacy endpoints. More than 50 API profiles expand connectivity across AI, collaboration, developer, marketing, infrastructure, data, and business platforms. Additional updates include vendor-driven product renames and driver deprecations, version-agnostic Python drivers, Entity Framework Core 10 and Visual Studio 2026 compatibility, and OAuth support for Salesforce as basic authentication is deprecated.
