Stage configuration

Stage configuration#

By default, Replicant uses Snowflake’s native stage for bulk loading. But you can also use an external stage like Azure. The external stage holds the data files and then Replicant loads them on the target Snowflake server. Thestage section ofthe connection configuration file allows you to specify the details Replicant requires to connect to and use a specific stage.

The following parameters can configure stages. For example configuration for each stage, seeExamples.
