Kyvos supports connection to Azure SQL database connections using JDBC connectivity to enable users to perform business analytics on semantic models designed on AzureSQLDB.

Info

In the Azure SQL Database, ensure that the fact tables having high data volume are partitioned in the table column, which is used in the Partition column option of the Kyvos dataset.

Refer to Creating a dataset section for details.

Prerequisites

Before creating an Azure SQL database connection, ensure that the following are available.

Provide Kyvos and Databricks virtual network access on your Azure SQL database. For this, go to Networking and add your networks, as shown in the image below.

From the Toolbox, click Connections.
From the Actions menu ( ⋮ ) click Add Connection.
