Hello,
I was wondering if there's a way to connect to a read-only replicate on an Azure SQL Managed Instance via Fabric Dataflow Gen2. I can connect to a read-only replicate using SSMS as shown here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/read-scale-out?view=azuresql , but I'm not sure if there's a way to do it from a Dataflow.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
If the ApplicationIntent value is ReadOnly, the connection is routed to a read-only replica.
I don't think that attribute is supported by the default SQL database connector
Sql.Database - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn
It is also not mentioned for the ODBC connector.
