- Dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW) are an Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) enterprise data warehousing platform. You can query existing dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW) and also create new dedicated SQL pools in your Azure Synapse workspace. Not all features of the dedicated SQL pool in Azure Synapse workspaces apply to a standalone dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW), and vice versa. For more information, see [What's the difference between Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW) and dedicated SQL pools in an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace?](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-synapse-analytics-blog/msft-docs-what-s-the-difference-between-synapse-formerly-sql-dw/ba-p/3597772). To enable Azure Synapse workspace features for an existing dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW), refer to [How to enable a workspace for your dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW)](workspace-connected-create.md).
