Ready for a single pane of glass? Ready to have your insights in a common location? Let’s discuss Data Integration with SQL2022.
Let’s start with some background on SQL2022 and similarly SQL2025, start with the learn site link. SQL2022 by design is Azure enabled with multiple capabilities like ‘Bi-directional HA/DR to Azure SQL’ and ‘Azure Synapse Link’. Basically, Synapse link is the key.
Utilize the PowerBI Cloud Service with today’s hybrid environments. SQL2022 allows integration with other Azure capabilities like Azure Data factory/data lake, and Azure Synapse. Another reason to upgrade SQL 2022, is design simplification. However, PowerBI data gateway adds a potential break point (single point of failure). While PowerBI data gateway centralizes all premise data to a central location. In the same way, consolidating data sent to the cloud. When PowerBI data gateway fails, insights and visualizations have stale data (i.e. data NOT transferred for a near real-time display).
Why SQL2022 then?
Connect insights and visualization to justify ‘Data Integration with SQL2022’ scenarios.
Use SQL2022 to configure SQL agent jobs which pull SQL scripts from your cloud environment. DevOps and common Azure Storage repository are great advantages for speed of execution.
