On-Premise SQL Server To Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Using Data Platform Studio. (PDFDrive)

The document discusses migrating data from on-premise SQL Server to Azure SQL Data Warehouse. It identifies both opportunities, such as lower costs and a massively parallel architecture, and problems presented by Azure SQL Data Warehouse, such as lack of support for some SQL Server features and difficulties with data migration. It then introduces Data Platform Studio as a solution for testing migrations and moving data to Azure SQL Data Warehouse using its Polybase capabilities.

Azure SQL Data Warehouse
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Pay for what you use
• Pay for when you use it
• £684 to £41k/month
• Or £8.2k to £492k/year
• Depending on DWU use
• Plus storage
The Opportunity
• APS for less money
• Testing
• Training
• Massively parallel architecture
• Polybase
• Less money
Control Node:
Coordinates data movement
and workload management
Application

Massively Parallel
APS Processing Engine

Compute Nodes:
Provide processing mechanisms
in parallel or individually

Read Access Geo-Redundant Storage:


RA-GRS stores multi-terabyte data
Blob Storage across Azure geo regions
The Problem

• Azure
• PaaS
• SQL Server
vs. SQL Data Warehouse
The Problem: Data Migration

• Azure Data Factory


• SQL Server Integration Services
• Classic export/import
• Polybase

The Problem: Unsupported


• Currently (these things change)
• Identity
• Primary key, foreign key, unique and check constraints
• Unique indexes
• Computed columns
• Sparse columns
• User-Defined types
• Sequence
• Triggers
• Indexed views
• Synonyms
• Data type incompatibility
The Problem: Data Migration
