I'm trying to configure an external data source in Azure Synapse Analytics Data Warehouse to connect to an S3-compatible bucket/storage. However, I’m running into an error related to an unsupported URI scheme. According to the Microsoft documentation, Synapse should support connections to S3, so I followed the steps and created the scoped credential successfully. When executing the following command, I get the error: Has anyone encountered this issue before or know how to fix it?
Msg 105007, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE s3_DSWITH( LOCATION = 's3://cloudstorage.com:443/', CREDENTIAL = S3_ECS);

Based on my understanding, S3 support for polybase is only for SQL server 2022 and not in synapse.
Can you plz share the documentation which you are referring?
