MySQL HeatWave Lakehouse now supports specifying stored generated columns when using the CREATE TABLE statement for Lakehouse tables. This feature was introduced in 9.5.0 for DB System tables, and this release extends the ability to specify stored generated columns for Lakehouse tables as well. Using stored generated columns lets you create tables with computed values based on existing columns or constants. This enhancement enables you to perform complex data transformations on data at the time of loading or refreshing data from Object Storage and storing it as part of the table.
