Examples

Write data into azure blob storage using the following :

INSERT INTO TABLE FUNCTION azureBlobStorage('http://azurite1:10000/devstoreaccount1',
    'test_container', 'test_{_partition_id}.csv', 'devstoreaccount1', 'Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==',
    'CSV', 'auto', 'column1 UInt32, column2 UInt32, column3 UInt32') PARTITION BY column3 VALUES (1, 2, 3), (3, 2, 1), (78, 43, 3);

And then it can be read using

SELECT * FROM azureBlobStorage('http://azurite1:10000/devstoreaccount1',
    'test_container', 'test_1.csv', 'devstoreaccount1', 'Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==',
    'CSV', 'auto', 'column1 UInt32, column2 UInt32, column3 UInt32');
┌───column1─┬────column2─┬───column3─┐
│     3     │       2    │      1    │
└───────────┴────────────┴───────────┘

or using connection_string

SELECT count(*) FROM azureBlobStorage('DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=devstoreaccount1;AccountKey=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;EndPointSuffix=core.windows.net',
    'test_container', 'test_3.csv', 'CSV', 'auto' , 'column1 UInt32, column2 UInt32, column3 UInt32');
┌─count()─┐
│      2  │
