This is a reminder to use roles for permissions rather than hard coding user permissions. https://t.co/eFfc6Ln8sq

What are your options for querying CSV in #AzureSynapse serverless SQL? Filip Popović explains in https://t.co/pVGtkRPxFF how to speed up querying CSVs by using Parser_Version 2.0 rather than 1.0. 2.0 can be close to twice as fast as 1.0. 2.0 does have some limitations

[Russ Loski @sqlmovers]

More great innovations in #AzureSynapse.

The Cast Transform in pipeline dataflows makes it possible to cast strings and other data types to another data type. The current approach to converting strings to date involves some very detailed expressions. Now you can use Cast.

Another cool feature from the #AzureSynapse team: SynapseML. Watch the video to get an introduction. https://t.co/EXyGwxfl02
I got into programming because I am lazy. I look forward to seeing what I can do with my data with as few key strokes as I can.

Interesting video about Managed VNets. I am not a network person and like the idea that this security feature is easy to set up. It provides the following benefits (from video):
1. Easy to setup
2. Auto-scaling
3. Advanced Spark Security
4. Data Exfiltration Protection

@Ko_Ver has a good summary of the tasks of the ETL Developer in https://t.co/MGwxvDp5Pq
One element that he emphasized was the need to make the ETL process so that it can be rerun multiple times with the same results. That is the task that I am particularly lazy at.
