Synapse SQL Serverless

Synapse SQL Serverless
Database background

Azure Synapse's serverless SQL pool offers a scalable solution for querying data directly within data lakes without requiring data movement or dedicated infrastructure. As a pay-per-query service, it enables users to analyze large datasets efficiently while only incurring costs based on the amount of data processed.

Built with T-SQL compatibility, serverless SQL pools integrate with numerous business intelligence tools and allow for on-the-fly data exploration across formats such as Parquet, Delta, and CSV.

Through schema inference and enhancements to the OPENROWSET functionality, users can seamlessly query semi-structured data, manage database objects, and integrate with security frameworks such as Microsoft Entra to support secure, multi-role access management.

Export Synapse SQL Serverless Database

It may make sense to migrate your data away from Synapse SQL Serverless. You may want to do it permanently or just need to share your tables with a collague in a different format.

We will copy all your tables with their data and apply indexing and relationships exactly as they are in your current Synapse SQL Serverless database. In a nutshell, you get exactly the same database in another database engine. Each time you run the migration, we will copy all the tables again. Of course, we have a built-in scheduler, so you can run this overnight and have a fresh database copy in the morning.
