DCM Projects: New capabilities (Preview)
DCM Projects now supports the following capabilities in preview: For more information, see Supported object types in DCM Projects and Deploy and manage DCM Projects .
VOLATILE scalar UDFs are supported with dynamic table incremental refresh (General availability)
VOLATILE scalar user-defined functions (UDFs) are now supported with dynamic table incremental refresh in INCREMENTAL, AUTO, and ADAPTIVE refresh modes. This applies to scalar UDFs written in Python, Java, Scala, JavaScript, and SQL. For incremental refresh, VOLATILE UDFs are supported only in the SELECT clause.
Scala and Java UDFs in Unity Catalog are now generally available
Register Scala and Java user-defined functions (UDFs) in Unity Catalog and reuse them across notebooks, jobs, and SQL warehouses with Unity Catalog governance. Reuse existing JVM logic and get better performance than Python UDFs on all compute, including serverless. See Scala and Java user-defined functions (UDFs) in Unity Catalog .
MLflow trace storage in Unity Catalog is now generally available
MLflow trace storage in Unity Catalog tables is now generally available. Databricks recommends storing traces in Unity Catalog for new and production workloads: storage is unlimited, traces are stored in OpenTelemetry (OTel) format, access is governed through Unity Catalog schema and table permissions, and you can query traces with SQL, Genie, AI/BI...
Agentic code converter is in Beta
The agentic code converter is in Beta . Use it to convert legacy SQL dialects, such as T-SQL, Snowflake, Redshift, Oracle, BigQuery, and Teradata, to ANSI SQL in migration projects in your workspace.
Google Gemini 3 Pro is retired
Google Gemini 3 Pro is retired. Gemini 3.1 Pro is the recommended replacement. See Deprecated and retired models for migration guidance.

Enabling Numerals
Set numerals=true as a query parameter when you open the WebSocket connection: wss://api.deepgram.com/v2/listen?model=flux-general-en&numerals=true&encoding=linear16&sample_rate=16000 On Flux, numerals is set at connection time only and cannot be changed through the Configure message.
