Hi,
Recently I start observing sessions in Vertica that does not have any audit info, like client OS username, client_OS_hostname, client type, client version etc.
Those connections show ancient protocol version 3.5
After some digging, it appears Vertica released driver for VSCode SQLTools. New driver is just rebranding of PgSql driver that was there before, and keeps using old protocol.
That is a very poor practice from Vertica. All drivers should provide full audit info, no exception.
Please ask client team to update driver, it has to provide all audit fields on connections.
Thank you
Sergey
