Yahoo! Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, join, and update data across the Web. This release includes a grab bag of features and fixes inspired by feedback on twitter, our forums, and requests from colleagues. These include:

• SET to configure static variables, such as API keys, secrets, and other required values independently of YQL statements and web service calls.
• yql.storage tables to store and work with data using YQL itself.
