I have a very simple csv file to import into Azure SQL DB table. Below are some properties:
- CSV file is of around 1 GB and stored on FTP server
- This need to be imported into a table and replaced on daily basis through a day-end job process
My Questions:
- Should I use Azure Data factory to import this data or should I use OPENROWSET or BULK INSERT command directly from Azure SQL DB and schedule it a batch job?
- Will there be a cost difference if I use ADF vs OPENROWSET/BULK INSERT/BCP? Which one will be cheaper?
- Is there any issue in maintenance when compared with AD vs OPENROWSET/BULK INSERT/BCP
