How to load parquet files from Azure Data Lake Gen2 to dedicated pool using dbt?

[nvinhphuc]

Hi,
I want to load my parquet file from Azure Data Lake Gen2/Azure Blob Storage to the dedicated pool in Azure Synapse.
I tried to use

{{ config(materialized='table') }}
with my_table as (
    SELECT
        TOP 100 *
    FROM
        OPENROWSET(
            BULK 'myparquetfile_url',
            FORMAT = 'PARQUET'
        ) AS [result]
)

select * from my_table

but no luck.

It shows this error

('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Parse error at line: 7, column: 9: Incorrect syntax near 'OPENROWSET'. (103010) (SQLExecDirectW)")

So, how can I load parquets file from blob storage to dedicated pool using dbt?

Hi @nvinhphuc
The OPENROWSET syntax is not available in Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool. I would recommend raising an issue with your Microsoft partnership contact or with Microsoft Support if you would like to have this functionality in Dedicated SQL.

Take a look at dbt-external-tables for another solution that might help you.
