Tool to facilitate the data migration to a Fabric SQL database
Hi,
I'd like to know if it exists some tools to facilitate the data migration to a Fabric SQL Database.
It seems that the Migration Assistant is specific for a data warehouse.
Many thanks

Since it is still in preview, there’s no dedicated migration tool like the Data Migration Assistant for it yet.
For now, the easiest ways to move data are:
Use Dataflows Gen2 or Fabric Pipelines to pull data from your source (like SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) into the Fabric SQL DB.
Or use notebooks with JDBC/ODBC to connect to the source and insert data.
If you're already using ADF, you can set up a pipeline to copy data, though full support for Fabric SQL DB is still evolving.
So it’s not fully automated yet, but these options work depending on your setup.

Wouldn't SqlPackage do this?

pmscorca Have you been able to migrate your data to Microsoft Fabric?
If not, I’m excited to share that we have a Gen AI-powered tool that simplifies migrating your existing data to Fabric. It helps harness the power of Gen AI to accelerate migration, reduce costs by up to 60%, speed delivery by 50%, and optimize your data estate.
