Answers about AzureSQL setup, available source data, schedules, table updates, and SQL use cases.

Can Catchr send Instagram records directly to Azure SQL?

Add Instagram in Sources and connect the existing Azure SQL database in Storage. A datastream defines the route, while the job loads the chosen fields into "media".

How much control do I have over Instagram fields in Azure SQL?

Select concrete Instagram fields such as Media Engagement Rate, Media Interaction, Profile Account Engaged, and Day of the month. You can rename the chosen columns, preview the result, and write them to Azure SQL tables such as accounts, profiles, and posts.

How should I configure recurring Instagram imports in Azure SQL?

Define the first Instagram fetch, run frequency, and lookback window in the "media" job. Each scheduled run replaces data inside the configured period.

How do I prevent duplicate Instagram rows in Azure SQL?

Use a supported date field to partition "media". Recurring Instagram runs can then update the selected window instead of adding another copy of the same period.

How can a team use Instagram data after it reaches Azure SQL?

With Instagram data, an Azure SQL query can summarize impressions, reach, engagements, and engagement rate by post. Model Media Engagement Rate and Media Interaction in SQL, then expose the result to dashboards, internal tools, or recurring client reports.

Does my Azure SQL database need to exist before I connect it?

Yes. Connect an existing Azure SQL database first. The Catchr job creates and populates the destination table you configure inside that database.

Can I load several marketing sources into the same Azure SQL database?

Yes. Create a separate datastream and job for each source, write each export to its own table, then combine the data downstream with SQL, views, or your BI tool.
