The supported SQL Server versions are 2012 and later. SQL Server Express LocalDB isn’t

supported.

When you’re scanning Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server, Microsoft Purview supports

extracting the following technical metadata:

Instances

Databases

Schemas

Tables, including the columns

Views, including the columns

When you’re setting up a scan, you can choose to specify the database name to scan

one database. You can further scope the scan by selecting tables and views as needed.

The whole Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server instance will be scanned if you don’t provide a

database name.
