Michael Bourgon needs to get some data out of S3:
I was running into issues with the Linked Server lopping off long JSON that I’m having to pull out from the raw files. I can’t explain it – doesn’t appear to be SSMS. See previous post
But I needed to automate this, rather than use SQL Workbench, save to “Excel” (it was XML), then opening it again and saving it so that instead of 250mb, it’s 30mb. Runs against the previous month, one day at a time (walking the partitions), and then saves to a file. You got your Athena, your ODBC, your Export-Excel…
Incidentally, that previous post was around trying to use a linked server to pull the data in via SQL Server.
