SQL Pools are a feature in cloud data services that allow users to manage and analyze large volumes of data efficiently. They provide a scalable environment where multiple users can run queries simultaneously without affecting performance. SQL Pools are commonly used in data warehousing and analytics, enabling organizations to gain insights from their data. These pools can be configured to optimize performance based on workload requirements. Users can adjust resources like compute power and storage to match their needs, making SQL Pools flexible and cost-effective. They are often integrated with other tools and services, such as Azure Synapse Analytics and Microsoft SQL Server.
