Load Data from Azure SQL into Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse (Preview)

As a service administrator, you can use the Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse extract service to acquire data from Azure SQL and use it to create data augmentations.

Ensure that Azure SQL is enabled on the Enable Features page prior to creating this connection. See Make Preview Features Available.

  1. In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, create the Azure SQL data connection using these instructions:
    1. In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Console, click Data Configuration under Application Administration.
    2. On the Data Configuration page, click Manage Connections.
    3. On the Manage Connections page, click Create and then click Connection.
    4. In Create Connection, select Data Extraction in Usage Type and then select Azure SQL as the connection type.

    6. Verify that the Refresh Metadata toggle is enabled to ensure that the metadata is refreshed when you save the connection.
      You can later refresh the metadata from the Actions menu on the Manage Connections page, if required.

      Note:

      You can’t create augmentations for Azure SQL unless you perform a metadata extract.
  2. On the Manage Connections page, select Actions for the Azure SQL connection and then select Test Connection.
  3. To delete a connection, on the Manage Connections page, click Actions for the applicable connection and select Delete.

    Note:

    Ensure that you delete the functional areas, data augmentations, and custom data configurations related to the data connection before deleting it. You can't update or load data from deleted data connections to the warehouse.
  4. After the connections are successfully established, navigate to the Data Configuration page, select the connection in Data Source, then click the Data Augmentation tile, and create a data augmentation using the Azure SQL data. Select the applicable Azure SQL source tables. See Augment Your Data.
