CDC Changes: The script queries the CDC tables in SQL Server to retrieve the changes (inserts, updates, deletes) since the last sync. Each change is processed with a mapped operation type (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).
Real-Time Streaming to BigQuery: The captured changes are streamed directly to BigQuery using its real-time insert_rows_json method, avoiding the need for batch uploads via Google Cloud Storage.
Tracking Last Sync Time: The script tracks the last synchronization time and updates it after every successful sync, ensuring no data is missed.
Low Latency: By continuously querying the CDC tables and streaming the changes, the script achieves near real-time data synchronization.

I'm setting up a SQL Server 2019 instance and we are planning on using SMB storage for our database files. However, the file share isn't ready, so the idea is to use the \127.0.0.1dbfile as the location to start and then move these files to the remote server. Can I do this?
