Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)

Arguments use @P1, @P2, etc.

Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:

-- @P1 name1 (varchar)
-- @P2 name2 (int) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = @P1 AND age > @P2;

Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter

Declare the arg with type (s3object). Windmill renders an S3 file picker for it, downloads the file, and binds it as nvarchar(max) JSON text — Parquet/CSV files are decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass through. Consume with OPENJSON:

-- @P1 file (s3object)
SELECT id, name
FROM OPENJSON(@P1)
WITH (id INT, name NVARCHAR(200));

Streaming query results to S3

Add a -- s3 directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3 instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its S3Object as the script result.

-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;

All keys are optional: prefix (object key prefix), storage (named storage — omit to use the workspace default), format (json (default), parquet, or csv). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of being buffered as the script return value.
