Specify Delta Table Retention Period (Dataverse - Synapse Link connection)

[Dinosauris]

Hello!

I have set up a synapsle link connection from Dataverse to Synapse in order to use the time travelling capability of delta tables. Below is the link on how the connection is set up: https://www.serverlesssql.com/synapse-link-for-dataverse-exporting-to-delta-lake/

What I want to do is to specify the rentention period for the delta tables. However, I could not find where and how this can be set and where I can check what the current retention period is using Azure Synapse. There is only documentation out there using Databricks, but not Synapse. Time travelling feature already works when I use synapse notebooks for the tables, however, only for a few days. Thus I want to increase the retention period. 

Can someone let me know where and how I can specify the rentention period and where I can check the retention period?

Thank you! 🙂

Hi @Dinosauris 
An update on the reply from the internal team--

"Time travel" on the Dataverse-created delta lake (in either Dataverse or Synapse) - is not supported. The customer could, if they wish, set up downstream processes to capture changes/snapshots of point in time data, but that would be something they would need to build and manage on their own.

Hope this helps.
