create script of existing database scoped credential

Question

Hi,

We are using Azure Dedicated SQL Pool. Some external tables were defined 2 or 3 years ago. These external tables point some zipped files in blob storage.
In order to create the external tables, some credentials were created.

How can I find the create script of these database scoped credentials?
I want to find out:

• whether storage access key or shared access signature is used
• if shared access signature is used, I would like to see the expiration date

Thanks

Hello @Ömer Faruk Özsakarya ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

To import a file from Azure Blob storage using a shared key, the identity name must be SHARED ACCESS SIGNATURE. To load data into Azure Synapse Analytics, any valid value can be used for identity.

You may checkout the similar thread - CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL in Azure Synapse studio for SQL Serverless pool.

For more details, you may refer to Create and use native external tables using SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics and CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL (Transact-SQL).

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
