Microsoft SQL Server data virtualization with PolyBase enables you to access data stored in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or Azure blob storage without moving or copying the data. With PolyBase, you can query and join data from Microsoft SQL Server and Hadoop by using the Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL language. You can also use Microsoft SQL Server tools such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, Microsoft BI tools, and custom applications to query data in HDFS or Azure blob storage. PolyBase uses the Microsoft Hive ODBC driver to connect to Hadoop data sources. The Microsoft Hive ODBC driver is installed with the PolyBase feature. When you query Hadoop data sources by using PolyBase, the query is translated into a MapReduce job that is run on the Hadoop cluster. The results of the MapReduce job are returned to Microsoft SQL Server. To optimize performance, PolyBase caches the results of queries in memory. This is even possible SQL to SQL.
Microsoft SQL Server data virtualization with PolyBase is a great way to manage data. It allows you to create a virtual database that can be used by multiple users. This makes it easy to manage data and to keep track of changes. PolyBase also allows you to create a database that is highly available and that can be used by many users.
