Graceful database stop and restart in Kubernetes
You can now gracefully stop and restart an OpenText™ Analytics Database deployed on Kubernetes using the VerticaDB custom resource. This allows you to shut down databases during periods of low or no traffic to reduce costs while keeping the database in a shutdown state for as long as needed.
VerticaScrutinize configuration options for Kubernetes
VerticaScrutinize includes additional Kubernetes configuration options that let you control what data is collected. You can include or exclude details such as active queries, external tables, ROS containers, and UDx functions based on your operational and performance needs.
Internode TLS support in Kubernetes
You can now configure Internode TLS through the VerticaDB operator using Kubernetes or AWS secrets. This lets you manage Internode TLS secrets and modes directly in the VerticaDB custom resource for consistent and secure communication.
VCluster UI enhancements
The VCluster UI includes enhancements to improve usability and streamline navigation. For details on the updated interface and features, see VCluster UI.
VCluster CLI updates
The VCluster CLI now includes new commands upgrade_license, return_epoch, list_packages, and uninstall_packages along with new flags for existing commands, giving you more control when managing your clusters. For details, see VCluster commands.
Export to Iceberg tables
Enables you to export data from OpenText™ Analytics Database tables to the Apache Iceberg table format, which is an open table format designed for managing large external analytic datasets efficiently, with ACID support. The exported data is stored in Parquet format, a columnar storage format optimized for such workloads. For more information, see Export to Iceberg tables.
OpenText™ Analytics Database supports exporting to Iceberg tables that are managed directly by a filesystem or by the AWS Glue metastore. This behavior is controlled by the IcebergCatalog parameter in the EXPORT TO PARQUET command.
GET TABLE METADATA function
The new GET TABLE METADATA function retrieves metadata information about a specified Apache Iceberg table, including schema, partition specifications, and sort orders.
Trial license
The 30‑day Trial license is the current evaluation option for OpenText™ Analytics Database (Vertica). It provides a supported way to explore the database capabilities in a time‑limited environment before moving to a commercial license. For more information, see Trial license.
MCP Server
The OpenText™ Analytics Database MCP server is a secure, JWT-authenticated server that implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) for database interactions between your database and AI agents. It provides a tool for executing queries, managing job queues, and interacting with the database through APIs. For details, see MCP Server
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) using time-based one-time password (Totp)
You can configure MFA to authenticate to the OpenText™ Analytics Database. After authenticating through username and password to the database, you will be prompted to also authenticate through an email or text. For more information, see ADO.NET connection properties.
