Webinar - Synapse and Power BI

We are moving to a world where every application needs to be intelligent and adaptive to real-time model learning. As businesses build modern data capabilities, they must make decisions at the speed of human thought. Developers are challenged by this, given the huge silos that exist between databases and analytic products, and the complexity of a fragmented data estate can hamper the speed of agility and innovation.   Data engineers, data scientists, and business analysts struggle with the complexity of making data integration, data warehousing, machine learning operations (MLOps), and business intelligence (BI) work together. What is needed is a consistent data ecosystem. Agenda: End-to-end analytics with Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI Data ingestion and integration Enterprise data serving layer in Azure Synapse Self-service analytics with Power BI Community resources to learn Azure Synapse and Power BI   When:  Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at

PostgreSQL connector for the virtual network data gateway

Image
We are happy to announce a new PostgreSQL connector for the virtual network data gateway! You can now connect to all your PostgreSQL workloads in the cloud using basic authentication. Just select PostgreSQL in the connection type dropdown menu when creating a new connection to your virtual network data gateway from the manage gateways page on the PBI service.   Why use PostgreSQL through the vnet data gateway? Use this option instead of the on-premises data gateway to avoid creating a DSN, creating a connection string, installing a driver, setting up data source specific configurations or downloading anything.   How do I use this? To connect to a PostgreSQL data source: Select the gear icon in the top menu bar and navigate to the manage gateways page. 2.  Select Connections and then +New. 3.  Select the vnet data gateway you want to connect with, give the connection a connection name, and then select PostgreSQL from the connection type dropdown menu.
