About Hyper-Q for Azure Synapse Analytics
Datometry Hyper-Q is a database virtualization platform that makes Teradata applications instantly interoperable with Azure Synapse Analytics. Applications originally written or configured for Teradata can run directly on Azure Synapse without changing SQL code or APIs. To do so, Hyper-Q is situated between your database applications and Azure Synapse. Sitting in the data path, Hyper-Q accepts all communication from the various applications and translates Teradata-specific SQL statements into T-SQL for Azure Synapse.
Hyper-Q provides functional and accurate emulation of all commonly used Teradata features. Even complex features such as recursion or Global Temporary Tables, which do not have a direct corresponding implementation on Azure Synapse, are emulated by Hyper-Q. Additionally, Hyper-Q supports loaders and utilities commonly used in Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) or Extract, Load, and Transform (ELT) processing.
