How can the SqlDatabaseSink store the payload in separate columns? It's mentioned in the documentation, but I haven't seen it done anywhere. When I've tried, the payload is always stored as a JSON string. Any ideas?
Source: Developing event sources using the .NET EventSource class
Under "Specifying the event and its payload" it states:
Some sinks will store payload items individually; for example, the SQL Database sink and the Azure Table Storage sink in the Semantic Logging Application Block store each payload item in a separate column.
Is the documentation wrong regarding the SqlDatabaseSink? I've heard DEVs claim that the Azure Sink works.
It turns out that the documentation is incorrect after all. It only works with the Azure Sink as explained here by an Enterprise Library Support Engineer.
