During bulk insert of sql tables i have used SELECT * FROM [@{item().TABLE_SCHEMA}].[@{item().TABLE_NAME}] in copy activity of source. Using select * will reduce the performance and expensive?usually select *will be avoided in database.

    Hi Meera CONVZ,

    Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Azure data factory or Synapse pipelines generally perform task on respective storages. In this case, in SQL DB they execute queries. As we now, in SQL SELECT * is not good for performance and SELECT query with column names will have a little impact in improving performance. Hence, in this case SELECT query with column names will help.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if any further queries.
