What is Microsoft SQL
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. It is a full-featured database system, offering a complete set of tools for developing and managing data-driven applications. It provides a comprehensive set of services for data storage, processing and security, as well as a wide range of data access and analysis tools. It is used in a variety of applications, such as web applications, data warehouses, and business intelligence solutions. It is also used to store and manage large amounts of data, and provides an efficient way to access and analyze that data.
Benefits of setting up data lineage
Data lineage is a way to track the data through where it came from and how it has been transformed. It is the comprehensive record of an input dataset, the sources of the data, the transformations and analyses that were used, and details about the data's relationships with other datasets. The core purpose of data lineage is to provide a reference point for users and organizations to be able to examine the data on their own. Additionally, data lineage can help pinpoint any potential data integrity issues, as well as provide context to data as it moves through an organization. Furthermore, it ensures data is accurately used and understood by all stakeholders, increasing transparency and trust in data-driven operations.
Why should you have Data lineage for Microsoft SQL
Data lineage for Microsoft SQL Server provides a clear traceability of the data provenance throughout the entire data pipeline. It helps auditors review the safety and trustworthiness of data and ensures compliance standards are met. Additionally, data lineage can help organizations uncover hidden relationships within their data queries, which can improve analytics accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, data lineage can help reduce the company’s overall risk exposure by making Data Auditing and Compliance Tracking easier. With data lineage, Microsoft SQL Server administrators can ensure that their data practices are in compliance with regulatory requirements and create a path for troubleshooting data errors.
How to set up
In order to set up data lineage using Microsoft SQL and secoda, one should first create a database. Then, use secoda to create data lineage diagrams by establishing relationships between the database objects and tracking the data as it moves from the source to the destination. Finally, use the Microsoft SQL server to store and maintain these relationships and analyze the data lineage of the database stack.
