The new database designer in Synapse Studio gives you the possibility to create a data model for your lake database and add additional information to it. Every Entity and Attribute can be described to provide more information about the model, which not only contains Entities but relationships as well. In particular, the inability to model relationships has been a challenge for the interaction on the data lake. This challenge is now addressed with an integrated designer that provides possibilities that have been available in databases but not on the lake. Also the capability to add descriptions and possible demo values to the model allows people who are interacting with it in the future to have information where they need it to get a better understanding about the data.

> The maximum size of metadata in a lake database is 10 GB. Attempting to publish or update a model that exceeds 10 GB in size will fail. To resolve this issue, reduce the model size by removing tables and columns. Consider splitting large models into multiple lake databases to avoid this limit.

## Data storage

Lake databases use a data lake on the Azure Storage account to store the data of the database. The data can be stored in Parquet, Delta or CSV format and different settings can be used to optimize the storage. Every lake database uses a linked service to define the location of the root data folder. For every entity, separate folders are created by default within this database folder on the data lake. By default all tables within a lake database use the same format but the formats and location of the data can be changed per entity if that is requested.
