Azure Synapse Analytics API Reference Guide

This page describes the asa (Azure Synapse Analytics data sources) endpoint.

Note

Additional fields may be included in some responses you receive; however, these attributes are for internal purposes and are therefore undocumented.

ASA workflow

Create an Azure Synapse Analytics data source.
Search Azure Synapse Analytics data sources.
Update Azure Synapse Analytics data sources.

Create a data source

Data source duplicates

In order to avoid two data sources referencing the same table, users can not create duplicate data sources. If you attempt to create a duplicate data source using the API, you will encounter a warning stating "duplicate tables are specified in the payload."
