The TigerGraph 2.x version contains some features which are labeled as deprecated. These features are no longer necessary because they have been superseded already by improved approaches for using the TigerGraph platform. The new approaches were developed because they use more consistent grammar, are more extensible, or offer higher performance. Therefore, TigerGraph 3.0 will streamline the product by removing support for some of these deprecated features, listed below:
See Data Types in GSQL Language Reference
See Control Flow Statements in GSQL Language Reference
See Vertex Set Variable Declaration and Assignment
If a vertex type is specified, the vertex type must be within parentheses.
These are documented in several places throughout the GSQL Language Reference:
See PRINT Statement in 'Output Statements and File Objects'
See Run Built-in Queries in 'GSQL 101'
