The Azure SQL DB OCF connector supports metadata extraction (MDE) based on default queries built in the connector code and custom query-based MDE.

The default queries that this connector uses to extract metadata can be found in Extraction Queries for Azure SQL DB. You can customize these queries to adjust the extraction to your specific needs.
