Supported data sources in Azure Data Catalog

  • Articol

Important

Azure Data Catalog was retired on May 15, 2024.

For data catalog features, use the Microsoft Purview service, which offers unified data governance for your entire data estate.

You can publish metadata by using a public API or a click-once registration tool, or by manually entering information directly to the Azure Data Catalog web portal. The following table summarizes all data sources that are supported by the catalog today, and the publishing capabilities for each. Also listed are the external data tools that each data source can launch from our portal "open-in" experience. The second table contains a more technical specification of each data-source connection property.

Note

The DSL structure column in the following table lists only the connection properties for "address" property bag that are used by Azure Data Catalog. That is, "address" property bag can contain other connection properties of the data source which Azure Data Catalog persists, but does not use.
