Hi, IMO, both the SQL Client and the Restful API can provide connections to the
SQL Gateway service for submitting jobs. A slight difference is that the SQL
Client also offers a command-line visual interface for users to view results.
In your production scenes, placing the SQL to be submitted into a file and then
using the '-f' command in SQL Client to submit the file sounds a bit
roundabout. You can just use the Restful API to submit them directly?

I'm reading the deployment guide[1] and wanted to check my understanding. For
deploying a SQL job into production, would the pattern be to write the SQL in a
file that's under source control, and pass that file as an argument to SQL
Client with -f argument (as in this docs example[2])?
Or script a call to the SQL Gateway's REST API?
Are there pros and cons to each approach?
thanks, Robin
