Understanding the Problem with CREATE VIEW Statement in Export-DbaScript The question presented revolves around the use of Export-DbaScript from DBATools, a PowerShell module for database administration tasks. The script exported by this command contains SQL code that can be executed to create objects such as views, stored procedures, and functions in a specified database. However, when attempting to execute or further process certain scripts using other DBATools commands like Invoke-DbaQuery, the execution is halted due to an issue with how these scripts are handled by Export-DbaScript.

Subset a Data Frame into Multiple Data Frames Efficiently Introduction In this article, we will explore an efficient way to subset a large data frame into multiple smaller ones using R and its popular data manipulation library, dplyr. We will also discuss the importance of performance when working with large datasets. Background A data frame is a fundamental data structure in R that stores observations (rows) and variables (columns). Data frames are commonly used for data analysis, visualization, and modeling.

Understanding the Issue with CONCAT and Structs in BigQuery SQL ============================================= When working with BigQuery SQL, one of the most common challenges developers face is dealing with errors when trying to concatenate a string with a struct. In this article, we will explore the issue at hand, understand why it happens, and provide solutions. What are structs in BigQuery?
