The function catalogue is now real rather than a pointer. Scalar functions are
listed by taxonomy -- math, string, unicode, regex, date/time, array, map,
struct, crypto, type -- and the names come from what datafusion-functions 54
actually registers, not from what DataFusion documents on main. Aggregate and
window pages gain the same treatment.
Two things the audit corrected rather than copied.
SHOW TABLES does not work. DataFusion implements it over information_schema,
which this session does not enable, so it fails at plan time. It was documented
as working here, on the SHOW page and in three Manage tables; all four are
fixed, and the SQL overview now lists the absence alongside SHOW COLUMNS.
Prepared statements are a Flight SQL protocol feature, not a PREPARE statement.
A script carrying PREPARE ... AS SELECT will not run, while the same intent
expressed through a client will. The new page says so rather than copying
DataFusion's syntax.
Every section of the Documentation tab that has a SQL counterpart now links to
it -- 27 of 76 non-SQL pages, each pointing at the specific statement rather
than at the reference index.
SELECT and Enterprise SQL sat apart in Query while documenting the same engine.
They are now one SQL group: overview, Select, Aggregation, Join, Window,
Sampling, Functions -- one page per construct, with the Enterprise client-setup
and FTS pages merged in rather than parallel to them.
Sampling is new. TABLESAMPLE is implemented and was undocumented: BERNOULLI
picks rows, SYSTEM picks Lance fragments, REPEATABLE fixes the draw so a sample
works as a stable evaluation set. Its refusals are documented too -- a
percentage over 100, a fractional row count, BUCKET, the SAMPLE spelling and
the OFFSET modifier are all errors, because a sampling clause that were read and
not applied would be a wrong answer rather than a missing feature.
Schema & Data Types is one page again, with the multimodal content merged into
its blob section rather than sitting beside it.
Agentic Skills stops being a tab. Both its pages are tutorials, so they join the
Tutorials tab; the Basics page that introduces them stays.
