Parameterized Functions Supported in APPLY Column Transformer
Now paratmeterized functions can be used in APPLY column transformer. #16589 (Amos Bird).Why it matters
This feature allows users to apply more flexible and dynamic transformations on columns by using parameterized functions inside theAPPLY transformer. It enhances the capability of column-wise operations, enabling complex function calls with parameters to be executed directly during data transformations.How to use it
Use theAPPLY column transformer and pass parameterized functions as arguments. For example:SELECT <code>APPLY</code>(column, parameterized_function(params)) FROM tableThis new capability lets you invoke functions that require parameters within
APPLY, just like standard function calls.
