Serverless Synapse SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics have a new set of features that will enable you to analyze your Azure data more efficiently. The new Transact-SQL (T-SQL) language features that you can use in serverless SQL pools are STRING_AGG, OFFSET/FETCH, PIVOT/UNPIVOT, SESSION_CONTEXT, and CONTEXT_INFO.
Old T-SQL hands will likely know what all of this does, but click through if something looks unfamiliar. All of this is available in SQL Server 2017 and later (and everything but STRING_AGG()
is available going back to 2008).
