Tool to facilitate the data migration to a Fabric SQL database

Hi,

I'd like to know if it exists some tools to facilitate the data migration to a Fabric SQL Database.

It seems that the Migration Assistant is specific for a data warehouse.

Many thanks

@pmscorca 

Since it is still in preview, thereโ€™s no dedicated migration tool like the Data Migration Assistant for it yet.

For now, the easiest ways to move data are:

  • Use Dataflows Gen2 or Fabric Pipelines to pull data from your source (like SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) into the Fabric SQL DB.

  • Or use notebooks with JDBC/ODBC to connect to the source and insert data.

  • If you're already using ADF, you can set up a pipeline to copy data, though full support for Fabric SQL DB is still evolving.

So itโ€™s not fully automated yet, but these options work depending on your setup.

Wouldn't SqlPackage do this?

Hi @pmscorca ,

 

I don't think there is a tool. But from Azure Synapse dedicated sql pools to fabric dwh, below is the microsoft reference link:
