Emulations

• External tables are transformed into standard tables

• Materialized views are transformed into standard views

• MERGE statements are transformed into equivalent combination of DELETE, UPDATE, and INSERT statements

• Identity columns are transformed into standard columns and all statements inserting data into tables are modified to insert monotonously-increasing values into the now standard (big)int columns

• Temporary tables are transformed into standard tables with session IDs and timestamps encoded into their name. All code touching temporary tables is transformed into dynamic SQL because table names become dynamic.

• Database-wide name references are rewritten so that case-insensitive code won't break in case-sensitive Fabric Warehouse

• SET ROWCOUNT is deleted and statements after it are transformed to achieve the same effect. In cases where static analysis cannot determine correct transformation, a limitation is reported instead.
