query to specific partition in synapse?

ash b 1

In oracle, to query the particular partition we use following partition keyword i.e SELECT * FROM employees PARTITION (p1);
is there any similar command in azure synapse, to query the particular partition in partition table? Also how to identify in synapse query explained plan where it's using partition or not?

Hi @ash b ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thanks for posting the query.

I could not find any explicit options to direct query to a specific partition. I will reach to product team on this query and also on details to view partitions used in query plan. I will get back to you as soon as I hear from them.

Appreciate your patience!

Hi @ash b ,

Thanks for your patience. I got an update from product team that today we do not have provision to check partitions used in the query in Synapse and there is no plan in near future to implement the same. I would recommend you to create an idea in feedback forum which will be closely monitored by Synapse product team and will be considered for implementing in future releases.

Please let us know for further queries and we will be glad to assist.
