Known issues / Roadmap

  • Find a way to remove or default the CA certs dir

  • Add concept of multiple connection strings for one source (multiple nodes)

  • Add a ConnectionEnvironment that allows for the reuse of connections

  • Message box should be displayed instead of error in connection_test

  • Remove old api compatibility layers (v11)

  • Instead of returning list of results, we should return iterators. This will support larger datasets in a more efficient manner.

  • Implement better CRUD handling
