Microsoft hosts several public datasets on azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net with anonymous read access — no Azure account needed. These are useful for testing NOS connectivity or exploring data before building a pipeline.
| Dataset | Location Path |
|---|---|
| NYC Yellow Taxi | /az/azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/nyctlc/yellow/ |
| NYC Green Taxi | /az/azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/nyctlc/green/ |
| Public Holidays | /az/azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/holidaydatacontainer/Processed/ |
| ISD Weather | /az/azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/isdweatherdatacontainer/ISDWeather/ |
All datasets are stored in Parquet format and partitioned by year and month where applicable.
Note
Azure Data Share
Data shared via Azure Data Share lands in an Azure Blob Storage container on the consumer side. Once received, it can be queried from Teradata using NOS in exactly the same way as any other Blob Storage dataset — simply point the LOCATION clause at the container where the share was delivered and provide the appropriate AUTHORIZATION object.
