Set up a pre-sync script

Hello Aparna Manoharan,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are keen to know how to implement pre-sync script and post-sync script in your Azure Data Sync.

After you must have done necessary configurations in your Azure Portal. The Pre-Sync will look similar to the below to run before the synchronization process starts:

       CREATE PROCEDURE PreSyncProcedure
       AS
       BEGIN
           -- Your pre-sync logic here
           ALTER TABLE [YourTable] NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL;
       END

Your Post-Sync Scripts will also look similar to the below to run after the synchronization process completes.

       CREATE PROCEDURE PostSyncProcedure
       AS
       BEGIN
           -- Your post-sync logic here
           ALTER TABLE [YourTable] CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL;
           UPDATE [YourTable] SET LastSync = GETDATE();
       END
