  • Straipsnis

You can use Azure Data Studio to connect to and query Synapse SQL in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Connect

To connect to Synapse SQL, open Azure Data Studio and select New Connection.

Open Azure Data Studio

Choose Microsoft SQL Server as the Connection type.

The connection requires the following parameters:

  • Server: Server in the form <Azure Synapse workspace name>-ondemand.sql.azuresynapse.net
  • Database: Database name

Note

If you would like to use serverless SQL pool the URL should look like:

  • <Azure Synapse workspace name>-ondemand.sql.azuresynapse.net.

If you would like to use dedicated SQL pool the URL should look like:

  • <Azure Synapse workspace name>.sql.azuresynapse.net

Choose Windows Authentication, Microsoft Entra ID, or SQL Login as the Authentication Type.

To use SQL Login as the authentication type, add the username/password parameters:

  • User: Server user in the form <User>
  • Password: Password associated with the user

To use Microsoft Entra ID, you need to choose the needed authentication type.

Once connected, you can query Synapse SQL using supported Transact-SQL (T-SQL) statements against the instance. Select New query from the dashboard view to get started.

New Query

For example, you can use the following Transact-SQL statement to query Parquet files using serverless SQL pool:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM  
OPENROWSET(
    BULK 'https://azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/censusdatacontainer/release/us_population_county/year=20*/*.parquet',
    FORMAT='PARQUET'
)
