Glancing at Microsoft's Azure Synapse web page, it appears to be a database in the cloud.
Having worked with both Microsoft and Oracle, I'd recommend Oracle over Microsoft.
And from what I can gather about this "cloud" thingy, it's customers accessing Microsoft's disk storage over the internet. So, IOW, you put your database on Microsoft's disks and access it over the internet.
I count at least two major vulnerabilities there: 1) the disks are owned and operated by Microsoft, 'nuff said, and 2) your data is flapping out on the internet like underwear drying on a clothes line. You never want your mission critical database directly exposed to the internet especially if you're relying on Microsoft to keep it secure.
I recently installed a one terabyte solid state hard drive on my computer. It was about the size of a baseball card. That's an obscene amount of storage. When I used to work for a mid-sized company we could have put four instances of our Oracle database on this one little disk without any need for striping over multiple old style spinning disks. Why then, would we ever need a cloud?

I've found the Linux Mint OS to be very secure. And free.

Most people today don't know any better so they spend their hard earned money on Windows or Mac. But Linux is a viable alternative and it's what they call Open Source so it doesn't cost anything. You don't necessarily have to be a nerd to use it either although, if your are a nerd, Linux is a helluva lot more fun. I never looked back after I put Linux on my computer.

[FoxBusiness] "It's a race," Schork told "Varney & Co.," Thursday. "Do we get to $6 before we hit the severe economic downturn? Because we are going into recession if we're not already here."
The oil analyst’s comments come on the heels of the White House shifting blame for rising fuel prices from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Big Oil companies.
White House Secretary Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called on Big Oil companies to "do the right thing" during a Wednesday press conference. "operate at a loss and build refineries we'll force you to close after the election"

Ideal scenario: Only those who "voted for it" would "get it." Everyone else could go on as before.

The ignorace of how the private sector actually works is stunning. But I guess that is what we should expect from a President and administration that have never spent a second working for the real economy but have spent their entire career in Washington.

Need more reason for why Soviet Central Planning didn't work out? Donks - here hold my beer.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
