help Azure Synapse Analytics FAQ
Can Azure Synapse Analytics query both warehouse and big-data sources?
Yes, Synapse combines SQL data warehousing with Apache Spark-based big-data processing and can query data across different sources. Its SQL side uses T-SQL, while Spark supports languages and tools used for large-scale data engineering.
How is Azure Synapse different from a traditional SQL data warehouse?
Synapse combines dedicated or serverless SQL analytics with Spark pools, pipelines, and integrations across Azure data services. That makes it useful when one project needs both relational reporting and distributed processing.
Does Azure Synapse support machine-learning workflows?
It can support machine-learning workflows through Spark, notebooks, and integrations with other Azure services. Teams commonly use it to prepare and analyze data before training or serving models elsewhere in Azure.
