PyAzurite
Very basic implementation of Azure Blob Storage
The purpose of this tool is to allow MSSQL BULK INSERT from an inaccessible drive like \\tsclient.
To use the tool:
- edit the
data_folderpath inapp.py - get a valid certificate (trusted by the computer) for a hostname, edit
KEY_PATHandCERT_PATH
n.b. the external storage don't accept uris with a port description, the tool has to run on port 443.
MSSQL Example
--- [Optional] Drop the existing data source
DROP EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE PyAzurite;
GO
--- Add the external data source
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE PyAzurite
WITH (
TYPE = BLOB_STORAGE,
LOCATION = 'https://FIXME/blob'
)
GO
--- Test with CSV
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'test.csv',
DATA_SOURCE = 'PyAzurite',
SINGLE_CLOB) AS DataFile;
--- BULK INSERT With data and format file
--- n.b. the documentation mistyped FORMATFILE_DATA_SOURCE
BULK INSERT [mytable]
FROM 'myfile.tsv'
WITH
(
DATA_SOURCE = 'PyAzurite',
FORMATFILE_DATA_SOURCE = 'PyAzurite',
FORMATFILE = 'myformat.fmt',
DATAFILETYPE = 'widechar',
CODEPAGE = 'RAW',
ROWS_PER_BATCH = 1,
BATCHSIZE = 1000000,
MAXERRORS = 10000,
TABLOCK
