Characterset (characterset)

Environment variable: TAP_MSSQL_CHARACTERSET

The characterset for the database / source system. The default is utf8, however older databases might use a charactersets like cp1252 for the encoding. If you have errors with a UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte .... then a solution is to examine the characterset of the source database / system and make an appropriate substitution for utf8 like cp1252.

Configure this setting directly using the following Meltano command:

meltano config tap-mssql set characterset [value]

Cursor Array Size (cursor_array_size)

Environment variable: TAP_MSSQL_CURSOR_ARRAY_SIZE
Default Value: 1

This allows fetching records in batches speeding up network traffic. Recommend a setting of 10000 records.

meltano config tap-mssql set cursor_array_size [value]
