[TIL] Writer will not create file if zero records was created by prashant

Today I learned , Writer will not create file if zero records

This was a good pleasant surprise , I expected it to create a zero byte empty file. Is this a feature or bug?

Well some users actually do not want to create empty files.

Unfortunately it is not possible to make everyone happy

We still use AutoSQL in office for previously working query and I saw this option today in the output , might be good addition to writer for user
