2026)¶

🎉 Highlights¶

This release continues expanding the BodoSQL C++ backend, significantly increasing the range of queries that run without falling back to JIT compilation. The C++ backend is now the default for BodoSQL but it will still fallback to JIT if it encounters an unsupported query.

BodoSQL C++ backend¶

Non-equi join support
LEFT join and SUBSTR function support
All TPC-H now execute on the C++ backend without fallback
SEARCH function and new literal_agg implementation
Reduction arguments and forced broadcast join
SQL rules applied in groupby
JIT fallback disabled via pytest fixture for C++ backend tests
