Syntax

Important Considerations

  • File size may be up to 25MB.

    • The SQDB cluster staging area’s root path is configured using the stagingAreaRootPath flag. By default, this area is created within the defined storageClusterPath as a subdirectory named staging_area. This staging_area directory contains two subdirectories: content, intended for user-uploaded data, and temp, reserved for internal system operations.

    • The command is limited to a single file copy per execution.

    • File extensions are limited to supported FDWs.

    • The command execution is CPU based and does not use GPU Workers.

    • Up to 50 concurrent PUT / GET / REMOVE operation are supported per SQDB cluster.

    • The feature is supported for the following drivers: PySQream, JDBC, ODBC

Permissions
