Customizing Lake Databases in Azure Synapse Analytics
Great, so I've configured my Lake Database in Azure Synapse Analytics. But since I'm using parquet-backed files, my column names aren't very user-friendly. I also have these calculated columns incorporating business logic that I'd like to query on the fly rather than persist them to backing data. I also want to give specific end-users access to this database and provide them with pre-defined reporting queries to get them up and running as quickly as possible. How can I do this? Enter Custom Objects in Lake Databases - now you can create VIEWs, Stored Procedures, USERs (amongst other objects) in what used to be a read-only database. This article explores the customization options and how it can help you organize your reporting data in Azure Synapse Analytics
