Removed support for application server defined data source in Confluence 8.x
The SQL for Confluence app version 11.x does not support the application server defined data source (global data source) profiles with Confluence 8.x. We recommend you reconfigure reconfiguring the application server defined data source profile to the connection string profile.
Atlassian has ended support for the data source connections in Confluence 8.0. The recommendation is to switch from the existing JNDI data source connections and move to a direct JDBC connection. For more information, refer to Configuring a data source connection.
SQL for Confluence 11.x app updates in Confluence 8.x
The SQL for Confluence app version 11.x supports only data source profiles using a direct JDBC connection in Confluence 8.x.
The SQL for Confluence app version 11.x works seamlessly with Confluence 7.x (Confluence 7.4 to Confluence 7.20) versions, including support for application server defined data sources (JNDI data source connections).
In the View and modify data source profiles page, the pre-configured application server defined data sources shows the Connection status as Failed. The global data source profile rows are highlighted and shows UNSUPPORTED.
The View and modify data source profiles page and the SQL macro editor shows warning message for application server defined data sources.
Once you convert the application server defined data source to Connection string profile, the row highlight and the warning message in SQL macro editor disappears.
