Hi, I want to pick up this thread to verify if the AQL will still be supported in the future? Currently, Cloudberry automatically translates the JSON request to AQL statements. It will be a hard work to switch to SQL++.
I’m not object to set the default option to SQL++. However, we will keep the support for AQL, right?
