Ingesting Data into Data Explorer Pools
Welcome to Part 2, Working with Data. From here until Chapter 9, Exporting Data from Data Explorer Pools, you will learn how to bring data to Data Explorer pools, analyze it through different means, leverage other Azure Synapse services for advanced analytics scenarios (such as machine learning), and export data.
There are different ways to ingest data into Data Explorer pools. Your strategy may vary based on the format of the source data, frequency of updates, real-time needs, and cost constraints. The Running your first query section of Chapter 3, Exploring Azure Synapse Studio, walked through the steps to use one-click ingestion to quickly import data from a comma-separated values (CSV) file into your Data Explorer pool. In this chapter, you will learn different strategies to copy data from databases and files, and how to continuously collect data from streaming sources, internet of things (IoT) devices, and more.
