Data Manipulation

Function and Feature of SQL which we can use to manipulate data:

  • Filter rows and columns in a dataset.
  • Rename data fields and convert between data types.
  • Calculate derived data fields.
  • Manipulate string values.
  • Group and aggregate data.
We can use Synapse SQL Serverless Pool to run SQL statements that transform data and persist the result as a file in Data Lake for further processing and querying.

We can create an external table in a dedicated SQL or serverless pool to persist the result of the query in an external table, which stores its data in a file in the data lake.
