Stay connected with the latest news about Databend.

New Year, New Expression!

We're so thrilled to tell you that Databend now fully works with New Expression after more than a half year of dedicated work. New Expression introduces a formal type system to Databend and supports type-safe downward casting , making the definition of functions easier.

New Expression is still being tuned, and a new version (v0.9) of Databend will be released once the tuning work is complete.

Syntax

UNNEST(ARRAY) [WITH OFFSET]
