You can create a connection to a Microsoft Azure SQL database from the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform. This section describes how to create connections of this type.
- This connection type supports data ingestion into ADLS/WASB. When large volumes of data are read from an Azure SQL database during job execution, the data is stored in a temporary location in ADLS/WASB. After the job has been executed, the data is removed from the datastore. This process is transparent to the user.
- For more information on Azure SQL database, see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/.
Limitations
- None.
Pre-requisites
- If you haven't done so already, you must create and deploy an encryption key file for the Alteryx node to be shared by all relational connections. For more information, see Create Encryption Key File.
Configure
This connection can also be created using the following property substitutions via API.
- For additional details on creating an Azure SQL Database connection, see Enable Relational Connections.
- For details on values to use when creating via API, see Connection Types.
