I have a requirement to copy the table from on premise sql database hosted on linux server to Azure datalake using azure data factory. Self hosted integration works natively for windows system. Can someone share your thoughts or work around to achieve this requirement?

Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved as the SHIR has below system requirements and in order to connect to onPrem data sources ADF requires SHIR.
A workaround could be using SSIS packages in Linux to extract the data. For more information, please refer to this documentation: Extract, transform, and load data on Linux with SSIS

Have had a look around but can't see any concrete information. Essentially, if anyone could help it would be great. We are building reporting in the cloud and looking to ingest data from Dataverse that can then be reported on in Power BI
Looking at everything i can see, there is Azure Synapse and Data Factory. What i am trying to understand and learn is whether we use either ADF or Synapse or if its a combination of both
Going into ADF Studio and Synapse Studio, they look very similar so not quite sure what i should be using for this
If anyone could help or provide some info, that would be great
Thanks
Azure synapse provides all the functionalities of Azure Data factory and even more. Using both Azure Synapse studio and Azure data factory, you can perform ETL (extract, transform, load) operations without using any code. Azure Synapse provides enterprise data warehousing and big data analytics.
Azure data factory is a data integration service that allows user to create workflows for moving data and transforming it. Azure synapse, however, will provide additional services like notebooks, SQL scripts, store tables etc. All these functionalities help to ingest, prepare, manage, and analyze data using Power BI or Machine learning.
If you want to use Azure data factory to ingest data, you need to use either azure synapse or Power BI to analyze your data and build reports. But using Azure synapse is a much better choice because it has an integrated Power BI service which allows you to build reports or datasets within the Synapse studio. Hence it would be a better choice to use Azure Synapse instead of Azure data factory or a combination of both.
To understand more about the differences between azure synapse and azure data factory, refer to the following link.

I have developed a power app which has Azure SQL Database as the Data Source. I want to move this app to higher Environment using Azure Devops. I am able to successfully import the App using Azure Devops but I am unable to handle the SQL Connector which differs from Environment to Environment.
Note: I am using SQL Authentication with ADMIN Account details?
I want to know how can I handle this connection issue in Azure Devops?
To promote CI/CD for Analysis Services tabular models (SSAS, Azure AS or Power BI datasets), I always recommend people to use Tabular Editor with Azure DevOps. One popular feature of Tabular Editor's CLI, is that it can perform a schema check, in which Tabular Editor connects to the data source defined within the tabular model, in order to validate the partition queries against the actual columns specified in the model metadata.
Microsoft recommends the use of the MSOLEDBSQL provider (1,2) for SQL Server-based data sources. Unfortunately, this provider is not available on Microsoft-hosted build agents in Azure Pipelines (neither vs2017-win2016 nor windows-2019).
Unfortunately, the installer for MSOLEDBSQL requires admin permission, so I don't think that we can install the driver as part of our pipeline.
One workaround is to use Tabular Editor's scripting functionality to temporarily change the data source to use for example the SQLNCLI provider when performing the schema check. However, it feels like the missing MSOLEDBSQL driver on the build agents is an oversight on Microsoft's part, especially considering that they're recommending the use of this driver for production purposes.
Is there any way we can have the MSOLEDBSQL driver available on a Microsoft-hosted Windows-based build agent?

Virtual Environments repo contains the source used to create the virtual environments for GitHub Actions hosted runners, as well as the VM images of Microsoft-hosted agents used for Azure Pipelines.To file bug reports, or request that tools be added/updated, please open an issue using the appropriate template.
So I think you can open a Tool Request here with the given template, then the team there would consider and check your feedback.
In addition: As temporary workaround you can consider installing one self-hosted agent in your local machine, so that you can run the pipeline with local environment. (With more control to install dependent software needed for your build and deployment)
I just started working for a company that is still using SQL Server 2008 R2. We have many stored procedures, SSIS packages, and SSRS reports.
Plan to start doing additional .Net development as well. We currently do not have any source control and code is stored in a combination of someones local disk as well as network share.
My manager is open to suggestions and I would like to propose Azure DevOps as I do have experience working with it from other companies. Also our department is expected to grow over the next few years and I think it would be good to use Azure DevOps as a good foundation.
Lastly, I want to suggest to my manager that we use the Azure Scrum board for tracking development and I think that it will be great to "tie" work from the scrum board to ADO releases.
My questions:
Will SQL Server / BIDS 2008 (SSIS, SSRS) work with Azure DevOps? I assume so, but I'm not sure if there are any "gotchas" that may prevent it from working correctly.
Will SQL Server/BIDS 2008 work with the Azure CI/CD pipeline?
Thanks!
From this doc:
Azure DevOps Server is the on-premises offering that's built on a SQL
Server back end. Customers usually choose on-premises when they need
their data to stay within their network or when they want access to
SQL Server reporting services that integrate with Azure DevOps data
and tools.
Since you need to Azure Devops work with Sql Server, you could use the Azure Devops Server.
For example:SSRS reports are available from Azure DevOps Server or TFS when configured with SQL Server Analysis Services.
But azure devops server has requirements for the version of sql server.
The Sql server 2008 only supports TFS 2010 and TFS 2012. If you want to use a newer version of Azure Devops server/TFS, you need to upgrade your Sql Server.
Here is the detailed Sql Server requirements about the Azure Devop.
Asking for an opinion or direction on the current problem.
We are using bitbucket pipeline to deploy ci/cd web applications to Azure. Now what is remaining - the database, also being hosted on Azure.
From my research - everything on SQL Database Projects deployments usually utilizes Azure DevOps pipelines (connects to github repo, allows plural environments, has a built-in SqlAgent allows deploy SQL db to the target server via dacpac file. It allows CI with every check-in, every time you push changes. Nice!
But what if can not (for some reason) use Azure DevOps and have to utilize Bitbucket pipelines instead. is that possible? how? via scripting? a tool? to call in the command line? Any help - highly appreciated.
It's true that in Azure DevOps it is easier to deploy (Azure) SQL Database, as Azure DevOps offers many tasks (including 3rd party custom tasks you can find in Microsoft MarketPlace).
However, no matter what tool will you use, you should be able to do the same, knowing the concept of deployment of a specific service.
I don't know BitBucket very well, but I bet the product has the capability to execute some commands, including PowerShell commands as well. If so, you must do 2 steps in your pipeline to publish Azure SQL database:
1) Create server and (empty) database - perhaps BitBucket offers some task for creating services in Azure (from ARM template or other way). If not - you can always use CLI or PowerShell to do so. More info: az cli server
2) Deploy the database or changes to it. This step is always to compare DACPAC file (which is compiled version of SQL Server database project) to target database on the server. The result is T-SQL (differential) script which must be executed against the target database. There is only one way to do so - sqlpackage.exe - tool provided by Microsoft. You can find the whole documentation here and plenty of examples on how to use it on the Internet.
Let me know if that helps.
