Business value
Microsoft Dataverse data can continuously change through creating, updating, and deleting transactions; therefore, Azure Synapse Link provides two versions of data to ensure that, at any given point, a data analytics consumer can reliably consume updated data in the lake.
Feature details
Azure Synapse Link presents these two versions of data:
- Near real-time data: Provides a copy of data synchronized from Microsoft Dataverse using Azure Synapse Link in an efficient manner by detecting what data has changed since it was initially extracted or last synchronized.
- Snapshot data: Provides a read-only copy of near real-time data that is updated at regular intervals (in this case every hour).
