Breaking Changes
Replaced Cmdlets
Existing migration scripts will no longer work due to the replacement of the Open-BCPPackage and Export-BCPPackage cmdlets (and the removal of Close-BCPPackage).
SQL queries targeting the old IDB tables must be significantly updated to match the new, simplified powerLoad Database schema.
In particular, the removal of the many different ID columns may cause compatibility issues.
However, the new primary keys — such as FilePath, FolderPath, and ItemNumber — usually allow for much simpler and more efficient SQL queries.
If additional columns or tables were used, they can be safely added alongside the documented schema (e.g. using ALTER TABLE ... ADD _column_name VARCHAR(20) statements).
Renamed Powershell module
Because also the Powershell Module was renamed from bcpToolkit to powerLoad, existing Import-Module bcpToolkit statements will no longer work and should be removed.
