Host

Yes

Required. Host that SQL Server is running on.

Default is localhost.

Port

Yes

Required. Port that SQL Server is listening to. If the port number is specified in the connection string, no request to SQLbrowser is made. When the Port and Instance Name are both specified, the connection is made to the specified port. However, the Instance Name is validated and an error is thrown if it does not match the port.

Default is 1433.

Authentication Type

No

Optional. Indicates which SQL authentication method will be used for the connection. Use 'SQL Login' to connect to a SQL Server using username and password properties. Use 'Active Directory Password' to connect to an Azure SQL Database/Data Warehouse using an Azure AD principal name and password.

Username

Yes

Optional. User identity for connecting to the specified database.

Password

Yes

Optional. Password to use to connect to the specified database.

Connection Arguments

No

Optional. A list of arbitrary string key/value pairs as connection arguments. These arguments will be passed to the JDBC driver as connection arguments for JDBC drivers that may need additional configurations.

Reference Name

No

Required. Name used to uniquely identify this source for lineage, annotating metadata, etc.

Database

Yes

Required. SQL Server database name.

Import Query

Yes

Required. The SELECT query to use to import data from the specified table. You can specify an arbitrary number of columns to import, or import all columns using *. The Query should contain the ‘$CONDITIONS’ string. For example, ‘SELECT * FROM table WHERE $CONDITIONS’. The ‘$CONDITIONS’ string will be replaced by Split-by Field Name field limits specified by the bounding query. The ‘$CONDITIONS’ string is not required if Number of Splits to Generate is set to 1.

Bounding Query

Yes

Required. Bounding Query should return the minimum and maximum of the values of the Split-by Field Name field. For example, SELECT MIN(id),MAX(id) FROM table. Not required if Number of Splits to Generate is set to 1.

Split-By Field Name

Yes

Field Name which will be used to generate splits. Not required if Number of Splits to Generate is set to one.

Number of Splits to Generate

Yes

Number of splits to generate.

Default is 1.

Fetch Size

Yes

6.6.0/1.7.0

Optional. The number of rows to fetch at a time per split. Larger Fetch Size can result in faster import with the trade-off of higher memory usage.

Default is 1000.

Instance Name

No

Optional. SQL Server instance name to connect to. When it is not specified, a connection is made to the default instance. For the case where both the instanceName and port are specified, see the notes for port. If you specify a Virtual Network Name in the Server connection property, you cannot use instanceName connection property.

Query Timeout
