Whenever someone comes from a heavy SQL background, they find some of their favourite toys missing from the Spark SQL world - but there have been huge investments from Databricks to catch up here over the past few months.

So if you've been sitting in the pyspark wastelands dreaming of the good old days of SQL Variables, this is the video you've been waiting for!
