How to Securely Access Azure SQL Database from Azure Synapse Easily

The Apache Spark connector for Azure SQL Database enables these databases to be used as input data sources and output data sinks for Apache Spark jobs. At the time of writing, there is no linked service or AAD pass-through support with the Azure SQL connector via Azure Synapse Analytics.

Here's what we find out:

1. Create an Azure Key Vault and add a Secret to store the Azure SQL Database connectivity info.
2. Create a Linked Service for your Azure Key Vault in Azure Synapse Workspace.
3. Provide appropriate permissions to Azure Synapse workspace managed service identity to Azure Key Vault

Introduction to Structured Query Language SQL pdf

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a scripting language expected to store, control, and inquiry information put away in social databases. The main manifestation of SQL showed up in 1974, when a gathering in IBM built up the principal model of a social database. The primary business social database was discharged by Relational Software later turning out to be Oracle.

Models for SQL exist. In any case, the SQL that can be utilized on every last one of the major RDBMS today is in various flavors. This is because of two reasons:

1. The SQL order standard is genuinely intricate, and it isn’t handy to actualize the whole standard.

2. Every database seller needs an approach to separate its item from others.

Right now, contrasts are noted where fitting.

How to set up Azure Data Sync between Azure SQL databases and on-premises SQL Server

In this article, you learn how to set up Azure Data Sync services. In addition, you will also learn how to create and set up a data sync group between Azure SQL database and on-premises SQL Server.

In this article, you will see:

• Overview of Azure SQL Data Sync feature
• Discuss key components
• Comparison between Azure SQL Data sync with the other Azure Data option
• Setup Azure SQL Data Sync

Azure Data Sync

Azure Data Sync —a synchronization service set up on an Azure SQL Database. This service synchronizes the data across multiple SQL databases. You can set up bi-directional data synchronization where data ingest and egest process happens between the SQL databases—It can be between Azure SQL database and on-premises and/or within the cloud Azure SQL database. At this moment, the only limitation is that it will not support Azure SQL Managed Instance.

List of Available Database for Current User In SQL Server

Introduction

When working in the SQL Server, we may have to check some other databases other than the current one which we are working. In that scenario we may not be sure that does we have access to those Databases?. In this article we discuss the list of databases that are available for the current logged user in SQL Server

Creating and Cataloging SQL pools in Azure SQL Server

This article will walk you through creating a new SQL pool within an existing Azure SQL Server as well as catalog the same using the Azure Purview service.

Introduction

Data is generated by transactional systems and typically stored in relational data repositories. This data is generally used by live applications and for operational reporting. As this data volume grows, this data is often required by other analytical repositories and data warehouses where it can be used for referential purposes and adding more context to other data from across the organization. Transactional systems (also known as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems) usually need a relational database engine, while analytical systems (also known as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems) usually need analytical data processing engines. On Azure cloud, it is usually known that for OLTP requirements, SQL Server or Azure SQL Database can be employed, and for analytical data processing needs, Azure Synapse and other similar services can be employed. SQL Pools in Azure Synapse host the data on an SQL Server environment that can process the data in a massively parallel processing model, and the address of this environment is generally the name of the Azure Synapse workspace environment. At times, when one has already an Azure SQL Server in production or in use, the need is to have these SQL Pools on an existing Azure SQL Server instance, so data in these SQL pools can be processed per the requirements on an OLAP system as well as the data can be co-located with data generated by OLTP systems. This can be done by creating SQL Pools within the Azure SQL Server instance itself. In this article, we will learn to create a new SQL Pool within an existing Azure SQL Server followed by cataloging the same using the Azure Purview service.

Pre-requisite

As we intend to create a new SQL Pool in an existing Azure SQL Server instance, we need to have an instance of Azure SQL in place. Navigate to Azure Portal, search for Azure SQL and create a new instance of it. We can create an instance with the most basic configuration for demonstration purposes. Once the instance is created, we can navigate to the dashboard page of the instance and it would look as shown below.

As we are going to catalog the data in the dedicated SQL Pool hosted on Azure SQL instance, we also need to create an instance of Azure Purview. We would be using the Azure Purview studio from the dashboard of this instance, tonregister this SQL Pool as the source and catalog the instance.

Support for Synapse SQL serverless in Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB

Co-authored by Rodrigo Souza, Ramnandan Krishnamurthy, Anitha Adusumilli and Jovan Popovic (Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Synapse Analytics teams)

Azure Synapse Link now supports querying Azure Cosmos DB data using Synapse SQL serverless. This capability, available in public preview, allows you to use familiar analytical T-SQL queries and build powerful near real-time BI dashboards on Azure Cosmos DB data.

As announced at Ignite 2020, you can now also query Azure Cosmos DB API for Mongo DB data using Azure Synapse Link, enabling analytics with Synapse Spark and Synapse SQL serverless.

Support for T-SQL queries and building near real-time BI dashboards

Azure Synapse SQL serverless (previously known as SQL on-demand) is a serverless, distributed data processing service offering built-in query execution fault-tolerance and a consumption-based pricing model. It enables you to analyze your data in Cosmos DB analytical store within seconds, without any performance or RU impact on your transactional workloads.

Using OPENROWSET syntax and automatic schema inference, data and business analysts can use familiar T-SQL query language to quickly explore and reason about the contents in Azure Cosmos DB analytical store. You can query this data in place without the need to copy or load the data into a specialized store.

You can also create SQL views to join data in the analytical stores across multiple Azure Cosmos DB containers, to better organize your data in a semantic layer that will accelerate your data exploration and reporting workloads. BI Professionals can quickly create Power BI reports on top of these SQL views in Direct Query mode.

You can further extend this by building a logical data warehouse to create and analyze unified views of data across Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Data Lake Storage and Azure Blob Storage.
