What came after
The IRIS support introduced with this beta became the foundation of the product's future: 2.94 bundled a private Java runtime, 2.96 brought IRIS into the Query Cloud, and the tool was renamed SQL DATA LENS. Preview information and release notes for the current product are published on the SQL DATA LENS what's new page.
