• Google Drive
• MariaDB

Some other data source improvements are as follows:

• OAuth is enabled for a Snowflake connector (2019.1)
• You can directly use the power of spatial information in a PostgreSQL+PostGIS database without having to export or prep the data (2019.1)
• The JDBC connector was improved for better performance (2019.2)
