Azure Synapse Analytics (Former SQL Data Warehouse) as Analytical Storage

You are looking at an older version of the documentation. The latest version is found here.

Azure Synapse Analytics (former SQL Data Warehouse) should only be used as analytical storage with data loading from Azure Blob storage. This is done by configuring Azure Synapse Analytics to use Azure Blob Storage Account for upload. Please refer to Azure Synapse Analytics (former SQL Data Warehouse) Connector for detailed instructions regarding the connector and data source configuration.

For a dedicated connection to Azure Blob Storage, you can use the Azure Blob Storage Connector. For Azure Synapse Analytics as analytical storage, such a dedicated connection via Azure Blob Storage Connector is unnecessary.
