SQL updates¶
New Snowflake parameter: DEFAULT_NULL_ORDERING¶
The new Snowflake parameter
DEFAULT_NULL_ORDERING controls the
default ordering of NULL values in a result set. When this parameter is
set to FIRST, NULL values are lower than any non-NULL values.
When this parameter is set to LAST, NULL values are higher than any
non-NULL values. The default value is LAST, which is the same behavior
as past releases.
For more information, see DEFAULT_NULL_ORDERING.
Extensibility updates¶

Artifact Repository allows you to directly use Python packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI) within Snowpark Python user-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures. This capability significantly simplifies development workflows, making it easier to build and scale Python-powered applications in Snowflake.
