## Brazil Early Availability

Zero Copy Connectors was enhanced and updated in the Brazil release.

### What's new

-   **[REST connectors](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/rest-connectors.md)**

    Retrieve real-time metadata and data from REST-enabled systems without copying or duplicating the data. This release adds REST connectors for Oracle HCM \(Discovery\) and Acumatica, built on a generic metadata connector framework that supports filter, limit, and groupBy pushdown operations.

-   **Personal authentication for Databricks and Snowflake**

    Authenticate to [Databricks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/databricks-zcc.md) and [Snowflake](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/snowflake-zcc.md) using your own credentials instead of a shared service account, so that access is individually authenticated at the source system.


### What's changed

-   **MySQL connector moved to Primary with Preview label**

    The [MySQL](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/mysql-zcc.md) connector moved from the Community connector list to the Primary connector list. This connector is available with a **Preview** label, indicating that performance enhancements are ongoing.

-   **PostgreSQL connector moved to Primary**

    The [PostgreSQL](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/postgresql-zcc.md) connector moved from the Community connector list to the Primary connector list.
