What are your options for querying CSV in #AzureSynapse serverless SQL? Filip Popović explains in youtu.be/HpBpFH-l11E how to speed up querying CSVs by using Parser_Version 2.0 rather than 1.0. 2.0 can be close to twice as fast as 1.0. 2.0 does have some limitations

More great innovations in #AzureSynapse. The Cast Transform in pipeline dataflows makes it possible to cast strings and other data types to another data type. The current approach to converting strings to date involves some very detailed expressions. Now you can use Cast.

Another cool feature from the #AzureSynapse team: SynapseML. Watch the video to get an introduction. youtu.be/ycQPtC--VKU I got into programming because I am lazy. I look forward to seeing what I can do with my data with as few key strokes as I can.

Interesting video about Managed VNets. I am not a network person and like the idea that this security feature is easy to set up. It provides the following benefits (from video): 1. Easy to setup 2. Auto-scaling 3. Advanced Spark Security 4. Data Exfiltration Protection

This is an awesome new tool for a metadata approach to building a data flow in Azure Synapse.

I'm look forward to presenting an introduction to the Azure Synapse Studio at the Baton Rouge SQL Saturday Aug 6. This will be a quick introduction to the SQL editor, with more time spent looking at the notebook experience. #AzureSynapse #AzureSynapseanalytics

Had our Data Science degree board meeting last night at the University of Washington. Something the group noticed is that for quite a while now, Data Engineers are in demand more than Data Scientists - one estimate was 3-1. And the salaries are higher in many cases.
