SQL is unavailable in the embedded library and varies on a deployment, which serves it only when its Flight SQL endpoint is enabled and reachable, and the SDK has to be told where that is. The page's opening badge goes. The SDKs page declares both offerings. Neither SDK aggregates or joins, so the parity tables no longer say they do, and views can be created through the SDKs on a deployment. Pages that said vector search has no SQL form now point to the version-dependent SQL form, and COPY, which newer deployment versions refuse, is marked as such in the reference.

<Warning>
|
|
Newer deployment versions refuse `COPY` over the SQL endpoint with "COPY is not
|
|
supported". On those, export a result by reading it through a Flight SQL client
|
|
or an SDK and writing the files from your application.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
COPY (SELECT id, title FROM documents) TO 's3://bucket/export/' STORED AS PARQUET
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Writes a query result to object storage. This is the export path when the
|
|
consumer is another engine rather than an application -- results land as files
|
|
rather than streaming to a client.
