Azure Synapse
Azure Synapse is an enterprise-scale cloud data warehouse. Synapse is a petabyte-scale data warehouse because it separates compute and storage. Compute nodes use the SQL Server database engine and data is stored in Azure Blob Storage. (Azure Synapse was formerly known as Azure SQL Data Warehouse.)
IMPORTANT: Fivetran does not support Azure Synapse Serverless.

We use the following data type conversions:

| INT | INTEGER |
| LONG | BIGINT |
| BIGDECIMAL | DECIMAL |

| LOCALDATE | DATE |
| LOCALDATETIME | DATETIME2 |
| INSTANT | DATETIMEOFFSET |
| STRING | NVARCHAR |

| BINARY | VARBINARY |
Data load costs
Azure Synapse does not charge you extra when Fivetran loads data into your destination.
