This week brings powerful database connectivity, makes formula features available to everyone, and improves workflows with better text editing capabilities.
Features
Database Integration
Connect directly to your organization's data with native support for BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle. The new database integration provides a three-phase workflow: browse databases and datasets, search and select tables, then either import tables directly or write custom SQL queries to transform your data. The SQL editor includes real-time autocomplete for table names, columns, and SQL functions, making it easy to work with your data. Atlas automatically detects geometry columns in various formats (WKT, lat/lng pairs, and native geospatial types), so your spatial data is ready to map immediately.
Formulas Now Available
Formula capabilities are now available to all users. Create calculated columns using formulas and filter your data with formula expressions. This gives everyone access to powerful data transformation tools directly within Atlas, making it easier to derive insights and customize your datasets.
Workflow Text Selection
You can now select and copy text from workflow notes without triggering edit mode. This makes it easier to reference and share information from your workflows, improving collaboration and documentation.
Fixes and Improvements
