Hi  @pallavi_r ,
Thank you for using Microsoft Fabric Community Forum!

There is a sybase connector in dataflow which you can use to get data from your database to Fabric.Refer the link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/sybase-database 

 

 

 

If that does not match your requirement perfectly, Try using REST connector in Data pipleine to get data from your database into Fabric.

Please follow this document to know how to configure copy activity in fabric using REST:

Please follow this document to know how to set up a connection to use REST connector in data pipeline:

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hi All,

Just taking this approach as per below references from Microsoft link. 

Step 1 - Keep azure sql db as staging environment and use SSMA to do the schema and data migration.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssma/sybase/migrating-sybase-ase-databases-to-sql-server-azure...

Step 2 - Then migrate from Azure SQL DB to MS Fabric using copy job, mirroring, multiple options are there

Please share if you have any different suggestion to this.

Thanks,
