ELT data from one to another SQL Servers
- 1 year ago
Hi, copying from and to an on-premise sql server with a Notebook remains indeed difficult in Fabric. I've seen this video in other blog posts as a suggestion to get data from an on-premise sql server to Fabric: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAo_J6UFB9Y. Although this setup is still on my wishlist, I did not test this myself. In your case, it is the other way around too. You do not want to get the data from the on-premise sql server, but you want to write to it. Not sure if this same setup could also help, but it may point you in the right direction.
If this does not work, my suggestion is to use data pipelines or data flow gen 2 that use a connection with the on-premises data gateway (preferrably on a stand-alone VM) that has a connection to the sink on-premise sql server.

Hi FabianSchut, Please refer to (12) Connecting to SQL Database in Fabric: A Step-by-Step Guide | LinkedIn. Like ODBC, we can execute INSERT/DELETE/UPDAT/MERGET SQL statements in JDBC as well by creating cursors. This needed jaydebeapi extension.
Hi Anonymous can I ask why you need/want Fabric to do this? It means moving data from on-prem to cloud and then back again. Is there no way of running any ETL processes purely on-prem between the 2 servers?

Hi AndyDDC , this is a transient use case where eventually the on-prem target server will be replaced by Fabric Warehouse. Hence using Fabric for the ETL process.
