Questions
- What does the Norfolk VA 311 data include?
- One table, service requests, with one row per service request.
- Do I need an account with Norfolk VA 311?
- No. The data is public, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to paste in.
- Which warehouses can Norfolk VA 311 data go to?
- Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
- How fresh is the data?
- As fresh as your schedule: daily by default, or weekly or monthly. Schedules as often as every 15 minutes are on the Enterprise plan. Each run picks up requests created or changed since the last run, so changes show up after the next run.
- Will running it again create duplicate rows?
- No. Each row is stored once, by its key: when a run reads a row that is already there, it replaces that copy instead of adding a second one.
- Do I need to write code?
- No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.
