Microsoft Azure Storage Table Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace. This opens the Feature Type Parameter Editor.

Tip  To always display the editor in FME Workbench, you can select View > Window Layout > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, which may include Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer information, and Geometry.

In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept Table or Index Qualifier prefixes on the output table feature type.

Important  These parameters apply only to a selected feature type, not to the entire writer. If a feature type parameter listed here conflicts with a writer-level parameter, then the writer parameter will be ignored and this feature type parameter will be used.

Table Settings

Create a destination table if it does not exist.

If a table already exists with this name, it should be dropped and recreated before any features are written to it.

When Create Table is set to No, this parameter specifies how features will be written into the destination table. Supported feature operations are:

  • Insert: Append rows onto the destination table using attributes on features.
  • Update: Update existing table columns using attributes on features.
  • Delete: Delete existing table rows.
