 ### Challenges with analytics
 
-Azure Synapse has become a popular service for analytics for data of all types. In addition, many customers are looking to offload their read intensive applications from their primary SQL Server, to ensure the primary application has plenty of resources. To use Azure Synapse for this purpose, you'd typically have to build Extract Transform Load (ETL) applications, or use scripts to copy data out of SQL Server to synchronize into Azure Synapse. This method can introduce challenges because the data is often out of date in Azure Synapse and it can be costly to build and maintain ETL applications.

 You don't need to create a login or user account for the Microsoft Entra account to apply the access policy. SQL Server 2022 must be configured as an Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server to use Microsoft Purview access policies. The Azure extension for SQL Server stores information on SQL Server. This information allows the database engine to connect to Microsoft Purview to retrieve access policies, cache them inside SQL Server, and apply a policy when a Microsoft Entra account attempts to log into SQL Server.
