Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Exasol

Connect Azure SQL Database and Exasol with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Azure SQL Database's rows in Exasol, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Azure SQL Database where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Azure SQL Database sync into Exasol in real time, and result tables in Exasol sync back into Azure SQL Database, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Exasol as the central analytics layer.
  • Keep dimension tables such as customers and products aligned with the systems of record.
  • Expose SaaS data (billing, support tickets) as tables in Azure SQL for reporting teams already on Microsoft tooling.
  • Replicate Azure SQL tables to a warehouse without building custom CDC pipelines.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Exasol and keep Azure SQL Database focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Azure SQL Database land in Exasol as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Exasol

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Azure SQL Database objects Exasol objects
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL.

How the Azure SQL Database and Exasol connectors work

Azure SQL Database

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS), the same protocol as SQL Server; T-SQL over standard drivers
Authentication
SQL authentication (database credentials) or Microsoft Entra ID authentication
Change detection
Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

Exasol

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and a WebSocket-based client protocol
Authentication
Database credentials (username and password)
Change detection
Polling with timestamp or key columns; Exasol does not expose a transaction-log change feed to clients
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API quota; concurrency is bounded by cluster resources and session limits
