I liked how you started the video by first describing the difference between row-based storage and column-based storage. The example you gave was very simple and easy to understand.

Mam could you please let me know, do they support all datatypes. Because whenever i try to auto create a table in sql with source as parquet file, the sql table gets created with default column as nvarchar(max). Please suggest me a solution to this!
