Before you extract — Azure Blob Storage limits and report notes
This guide covers source setup only. When you move on to creating extracts, these are the connector-specific things to know.
Connector capabilities
| Incremental | Yes — but with the append load method, any file updated since the last load is appended in full |
|---|
What you can extract
There are no fixed reports — the container, load type and entity you choose at extract level determine the output. See the full Azure Blob Storage connector documentation for the complete list of options.
Extract notes
- Container Name — the container to read from.
- Load type — load a single file, or load all files inside an entity.
- Entity name.
- File name — needs to be known when Load a single file is selected.
Limits and gotchas
How incremental behaves
When the load method is set to append and a file has been updated since the last load, the whole file is appended.
Limitations
- When loading all files from inside an entity, the data structure of each file must be identical.
