AWS IoT Core enhances IoT rules-SQL with variable setting and error handling capabilities

AWS IoT Core Updates

AWS IoT Core now supports a SET clause in IoT rules-SQL, allowing you to set and reuse variables across SQL statements. This feature simplifies the SQL experience and ensures consistent content when variables are used multiple times. Additionally, a new get_or_default() function provides improved failure handling by returning default values when encountering data encoding or external dependency issues, ensuring IoT rules continue execution successfully.

What to do

• Explore the new SET clause and get_or_default() function in your IoT rules-SQL.
• Update your IoT rules to leverage these new capabilities for a simpler SQL experience.
• Consult the developer guides for more information on the SET clause and get_or_default() function.
