    You can use SSIS = "SQL Server Integration Services" to copy over data, see

    There are multiple ways how you can sync data between dedicated pool to a SQL server 2019 :

    1. Create a linked server in SQL server 2019 connecting to the dedicated sql pool. And then have a SQL server job to copy data from Dedicated pool table into SQL server 2019 . Though this wont be good performance wise
    2. You can use ADF/synapse pipelines copy activity to copy from dedicated pool to SQL server leveraging a self hosted IR ( the server hosting the SHIR needs to have good config for better performance)
