So I'm going to copy that over, we'll copy that over into Dremio. Piece that in there. Okay, let's walk through what's going on here. So we're creating a table, but just like, notice now when I create a table in Dremio versus creating it in Spark I don't have to use this using by or using Iceberg clause. Because Dremio going to assume you're using Iceberg. Now in this case see I'm doing a partitioned table and again I can partition by name. So I am creating the table initially partitioned by name. And we're going to insert some data and we'll see how that gets partitioned by name in there. Now we're going to do is we're going to alter the table, so again a very unique feature when it comes to Apache Iceberg is the ability for partition evolution.
