Overview

You can use this account type to connect Azure SQL Snaps with data sources that use Azure SQL Entra account.

azure-sql-entra-account.png

Prerequisites

  • Valid Database to connect.

  • Valid JDBC JAR file.

Limitations

When you select the Disable Connection Pooling checkbox, the account forces the session state to close the existing connection and reopen another connection to the database for each Snap until the Pipeline is executed, which might affect the performance. Therefore, we recommend that you select the Disable Connection Pooling checkbox only when there is clear isolation between Snap executions within a Pipeline.

Known Issues

Supports only reading JSON files.

This username is used as the default username when retrieving connections and must be valid to set up the data source.

 

Password

 

Default Value: N/A
Example: P#2,nxu0oiX2&?

String

Specify the password used to connect to the data source.
This password is used as the default password when retrieving connections and must be valid to set up the data source.

Trust all certificates

 

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Advanced properties

Use this field set to specify the advanced properties.

Auto commit

 

Default Value: Selected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to commit each of the batches immediately after it is executed. If the Snap fails, only the batch being executed at that moment is rolled back.

Deselect this checkbox to commit the output only after all the batches are executed. If the Snap fails, the entire transaction is rolled back, unless the Snap finds invalid input data before it sends the insert request to the server, and routes the error documents to the Error view.

Disable connection pooling

 

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to prevent the sharing of session state.

Connection pooling keeps the connections active. When the Snap uses a connection and creates a table during execution, the table gets locked and is not released even after the Snap is executed and the connection is returned to the pool. If another Snap or the same Snap uses the same connection from the pool and reads the metadata of the same table, it displays an error that the resource is locked.

We recommend you select this checkbox for Snaps that use session state, for example, creating a temporary table.
