Summary

In this chapter, we covered the concepts of Synapse SQL and Synapse Spark. After going through this chapter, you have learned how to create your SQL pool, how to use SQL on-demand, and how to use Spark pool, as well as learning how to change DWUs for your SQL pool using both the Azure portal and Synapse Studio.

You can refer to other books to learn more about Apache Spark. In this chapter, we have tried to cover the Apache Spark concepts that are most relevant to Synapse.

We have used Azure Data Studio in a couple of places, to give you an idea of how it works. We will be seeing Azure Data Studio again, later on. I personally like to use Azure Data Studio because it offers a very smooth SQL coding experience with built-in features such as multiple tab windows, a rich SQL editor, code navigation, and source control integration.

In the next chapter, we are going to talk about various ways to bring your data to Azure Synapse.
