Connect to Synapse SQL with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

You can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to connect to and query Synapse SQL in Azure Synapse Analytics through either serverless SQL pool or dedicated SQL pool resources.

Supported tools for serverless SQL pool

Azure Data Studio is fully supported starting from version 1.18.0. SSMS is partially supported starting from version 18.5, you can use it to connect and query only.
