.alter database policy ingestionbatching command
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer
Sets the ingestion batching policy to determine when data aggregation stops and a batch is sealed and ingested. The ingestion batching policy applies to queued ingestion.
When setting the policy for a database, it applies for all its tables, except tables that were set with their own ingestion batching policy. If the policy isn't set for a database, the default values apply.

Example
The following command sets a batch ingress data time of 30 seconds, for 500 files, or 1 GB, whichever comes first.
.alter database MyDatabase policy ingestionbatching
```
{
"MaximumBatchingTimeSpan" : "00:00:30",
"MaximumNumberOfItems" : 500,
"MaximumRawDataSizeMB" : 1024
}
```
Note
If you don't specify all parameters of a PolicyObject, the unspecified parameters will be set to default values. For example, specifying only "MaximumBatchingTimeSpan" will result in "MaximumNumberOfItems" and "MaximumRawDataSizeMB" being set to default. To override only some parameters, use the alter-merge command command.
