 # Tutorial: Load the New York Taxicab dataset

 ## Create a user for loading data
 
 The server admin account is meant to perform management operations, and is not suited for running queries on user data. Loading data is a memory-intensive operation. Memory maximums are defined according to the [data warehouse units](what-is-a-data-warehouse-unit-dwu-cdwu.md) and [resource class](resource-classes-for-workload-management.md) configured.
 
 It's best to create a login and user that is dedicated for loading data. Then add the loading user to a [resource class](resource-classes-for-workload-management.md) that enables an appropriate maximum memory allocation.
 
-Connect as the server admin so  you can create logins and users. Use these steps to create a login and user called **LoaderRC20**. Then assign the user to the **staticrc20** resource class.

 ## Create tables for the sample data
 
 You are ready to begin the process of loading data into your new data warehouse. This part of the tutorial shows you how to use the COPY statement to load the New York City taxi cab dataset from an Azure Storage blob. For future reference, to learn how to get your data to Azure Blob Storage or to load it directly from your source, see the [loading overview](design-elt-data-loading.md).
 
 Run the following SQL scripts and specify information about the data you wish to load. This information includes where the data is located, the format of the contents of the data, and the table definition for the data.
 
-1. In the previous section, you logged into your data warehouse as LoaderRC20. In SSMS, right-click your LoaderRC20 connection and select **New Query**.  A new query window appears.
