Can i run stored procedure in spark pool synapse?

Viewed 248

I wanted to know how we can run stored procedure in spark pool (azure synapse) which i have created in dedicated SQL pool. Also can we run SQL queries to access data in ddsql pool in notebook.

It is possible to do this (eg using an ODBC connection as described here) but you would be better off just using a Synapse Pipeline to do the orchestration:

  1. run a stored Proc activity which places the data you want to work with in a relevant table or storage account
  2. call a notebook activity using the spark.read.synapsesql method as described in detail here.

The pattern:

Is there a particular reason you are copying existing data from the sql pool into Spark? I do a very similar pattern but reserve it for things I can't already do in SQL, such as sophisticated transform, RegEx, hard maths, complex string manipulation etc
