## Summary - Complete the SQL reference: `ATTACH DATABASE`, the `CHANGES` clause, and `dedupe()`/`duplicate_pairs()` (verified against current sophon source; these were recently renamed from `vector_dedup`/`vector_duplicate_pairs`). Fix the blob-column default-projection claim and add the previously undocumented `blob_descriptor()`. - Enrich the gated Functions draft (still `.mintignore`'d, pre-release): chained Functions over blob outputs, GPU-produced blobs, Secrets, multi-input/output binding, `code=[module]` packaging. - Upgrade the materialized-view and computed-column auto-refresh drafts with precise, verified catch-up semantics, and add the missing `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` / `CREATE ... WITH(...)` sections (also gated — the automatic-refresh scheduler is still dev/staging-only). - Thread one running example (video frames → GPU extract/caption → dedup → auto-refreshing materialized view) through Functions, materialized views, and the LeRobotDataset integration guide instead of a separate tutorial. - Rename "LanceDB OSS"/"OSS" to "LanceDB Embedded"/"Embedded" throughout (52 files); activate the existing availability-comparison mechanism on `basics/offerings.mdx` for a full feature-by-feature comparison table.

```sql
|
|
INSERT INTO documents (id, title) VALUES (1, 'Merlin'), (2, 'Arthur')
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO archive SELECT * FROM documents WHERE created_at < '2026-01-01'

```
|
|
|
|
`INSERT ... SELECT` is the form worth knowing: it moves rows between tables
|
|
server-side, without a round trip through your process.
|
|
|
|
Commits a new table version, so [versioning](/management/table#versioning) and
|
|
the [write guarantees](/basics/guarantees#writes) apply, including that the
|
|
version advances even when the statement affects zero rows.
