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

How can I connect Instagram Public Data to an existing Azure SQL database?

Start with a connected Instagram Public Data source and an existing Azure SQL database. Create a datastream between them, then configure the accounts, fields, schedule, and "media" table.

Which Instagram Public Data metrics and dimensions can be sent to Azure SQL?

Select concrete Instagram Public Data fields such as Comments, Profile Followers, Profile Follows, 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.

What controls the refresh window for Instagram Public Data data in Azure SQL?

Set an initial fetch period for Instagram Public Data, then choose the frequency and lookback window for the job writing to "media". Catchr rewrites that selected period on each run.

How can I keep recurring Instagram Public Data imports from duplicating rows?

The partition field tells Catchr which Instagram Public Data rows in "media" belong to the period being refreshed. If you omit it, every run appends records rather than updating them.

What can agencies build with Instagram Public Data data in Azure SQL?

With Instagram Public Data data, an Azure SQL query can summarize impressions, reach, engagements, and engagement rate by post. A query built around Comments and Profile Followers can support trend reviews, account comparisons, and operational reporting.

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.
