Added

• Added the virtualConnection and virtualConnectionTable objects and supporting shortcuts to the schema.

Changed

• Some shortcuts were changed to make the definitions of “upstream” and “downstream” more consistent throughout the schema.
  • The Column type’s upstreamTables and downstreamTables shortcuts no longer include the table that contains the column. Use Column.table to find information about the containing table instead.
  • The Table type’s upstreamDatabases shortcut no longer includes the database that contains the table. Use ... on DatabaseTable {database} instead.
  • The Workbook type’s downstreamOwners field no longer includes the owner of the workbook. Use Workbook.owner to find information about the workbook owner instead.
