Connect Soda to Azure Synapse
Last modified on 24-Apr-24
For Soda to run quality scans on your data, you must configure it to connect to your data source.
To learn how to set up Soda and configure it to connect to your data sources, see Get started.
Connection configuration reference
Because Synapse is compatible with MS SQL server wire protocol, Soda offers indirect support for Synapse data sources using the soda-sqlserver package.
Soda also supports Azure Data Factory (ADF) with Airflow using this configuration.
data_source my_datasource_name:
type: sqlserver
driver: SQL Server Native Client 11.0
host: my_server.sql.azuresynapse.net
port: '1433'
database: my_database
username: simple
password: simple_pass
encrypt: true
