Polybase creates an external data source giving syntax error

Question

I am trying to execute the following command in Azure Data Warehouse:

CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE Brand WITH (TYPE=HADOOP, LOCATION ='wasbs://[e-mail]' CREDENTIAL = StorageCred);

And I get this error message:

Incorrect syntax near 'HADOOP'.

I tried it with the command after hadoop, nothing works. Azure Data Warehouse reports version 13.0.400, and I tried with two versions of SQL Management Studio with the latest version version 13.0.600.65

Answer 1

It seems to me that you are not really getting the Azure SQL DW command. See what I recommend to this guy, and use SSDT instead of SSMS and see if he allows it for you. fooobar.com/questions/993720 / ...
