[@mkrichey1]

Awesome presentation as always Simon! Great features which will be very useful!

[@Juan-PaulHynek]

Brilliantly put together, thanks Simon!

[@rommelbojorgee.8902]

Nice video Simon! thanks 👊

[@TheDataArchitect]

Great job bro.

[@selimberntsen7868]

Great video, will really come in handy! Can these features only be used on SQL pools or also on Spark clusters?

[@pini22ki]

Is this working in databrick SQL mode?

[@johnnywinter861]

oomph... throwing shade at the SQL editor 😵

Where would you use a variable instead of a widget?

[@AdvancingAnalytics]

I realised as I finished filming I should have thrown SQL Widgets in as well. The main difference is Variables can be derived from the data (ie: select max(id) from mytable), but widgets can be passed in externally. Both are super useful!

​​​@@AdvancingAnalytics Data driven parameters vs Externally passed in params? Looks a lot like Snowflake (named_struct vs object_construct)....Big vendors always going at each other.....trying to steal market share

Nice name no servers here. Can’t wait to try the serverless for jobs.

Could you point out what exactly the "where 'text' in (T.*) "is called? at 10:55 timeframe. I am running issue with searching in a table that has struct type. and it is saying that the data type mismatch. ... and this search does not work
