Release of IBProvider v3.53
Hello everyone.
We have released an update of IBProvider, which has the solution for error with code 8152 of MS SQL Linked Server.
https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/news/n_180927__fix_for_mssql_error_with_code_8152.html
Short annotation of this problem – MS SQL has the problem with processing of object descriptions in metadata schemas.
New provider allows you do not publish object descriptions in schemas.
You may turn off publication of object descriptions to speed up the process of loading metadata schemas as a whole.
