Overview of this book

Data is at the heart of all applications and forms the foundation of modern data-driven businesses. With the multitude of data-related use cases and the availability of different data services, choosing the right service and implementing the right design becomes paramount to successful implementation. Data Modeling for Azure Data Services starts with an introduction to databases, entity analysis, and normalizing data. The book then shows you how to design a NoSQL database for optimal performance and scalability and covers how to provision and implement Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Synapse SQL Pool. As you progress through the chapters, you'll learn about data analytics, Azure Data Lake, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse and explore dimensional modeling, data vault modeling, along with designing and implementing a Data Lake using Azure Storage. You'll also learn how to implement ETL with Azure Data Factory. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of which Azure data services are the best fit for your model and how to implement the best design for your solution.

  2. Click on the Connections menu in the upper-left corner of Azure Data Studio.
  3. Click on the New connection icon.
  4. In the Connection Details pane on the right-hand side of your screen, select Microsoft SQL Server.
  5. Copy the name of your server to the Server setting. You can find this name on the Overview blade of your Synapse workspace in the Azure portal. It should look something like synapsews-ptb.sql.azuresynapse.net, where you used your initials instead of ptb.
  6. Choose SQL Login for the Authentication type setting and enter the username and password you created...
