Answer 1

Hi @Suraj Surendran

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

To create data entity views for tables that were created from D365 data using Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse, you need to connect Dataverse to Synapse Workspace using Azure Synapse Link.

Once you have connected Dataverse to Synapse Workspace, you can manage the Dataverse tables included in the Azure Synapse Link. In your Azure Synapse workspace, create a user-defined schema within Synapse SQL. This schema will be used to store the views that you will create.

Finally, run a Create View Script to specify a view name, column names, Dataverse database name under the new schema, and the exported table name to create your view. This will allow you to create data entity views for the tables that were created from D365 data using Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse.

To use Synapse Industry Database Templates to create Lake database entity tables, you need to access Synapse Workspace from your Azure Synapse Analytics workspace, select the Knowledge center, and then Browse gallery.

Choose the industry-specific database template that suits your needs, such as Retail, Finance, and Healthcare. Navigate to the database canvas to explore the tables available in the template.

You can use the tools provided on the canvas to add tables to your lake database and configure it according to your requirements.

These steps will help you through the process of creating views for your Dataverse tables in Azure Synapse Analytics and utilizing database templates to create a structured lake database.
