This document provides an overview of loading data into Azure SQL DW (Synapse Analytics). It discusses extracting source data into text files, landing the data into Azure Data Lake Store Gen2, preparing the data for loading into staging tables using PolyBase or COPY commands, transforming the data, and inserting it into production tables. It also compares ETL vs ELT approaches and SSIS vs Azure Data Factory for data integration. The presenter then demonstrates loading data in Synapse SQL pool and invites any questions.
