Introducing SQL Pool

SQL Pool uses a scale-out, node-based architecture with one control node and multiple compute nodes for distributed computational processing. Control nodes are a single point of contact for end users to interact with all compute nodes. The control node runs the Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) engine, which passes an operation to multiple compute nodes to do their work in parallel. MPP databases are optimized for analytical workloads, such as aggregating and processing large datasets. In this type of architecture, each compute node (which are also called processing units) works independently, with its own operating system and dedicated memory.

In this section, you will learn about the architecture of SQL Pool, which will help you in understanding data distribution across various nodes in SQL Pool. We will cover how to create a SQL pool using both the Azure portal and Synapse Studio in the following section.
