Why each option
To copy data from an on-premises SQL Server database to a Fabric Warehouse via an on-premises data gateway, you should use a data pipeline.
An Apache Spark job definition is primarily used for complex data processing and transformations using Spark code, not for a straightforward data copy operation from an on-premises source.
A Microsoft Fabric data pipeline, specifically utilizing a Copy activity, is the standard and most efficient mechanism for orchestrating data movement. It can connect to on-premises SQL Server databases via an on-premises data gateway and copy data to Fabric destinations like a Warehouse.
While dataflows can ingest data, Dataflow Gen1 is an older technology, and a pipeline's Copy activity is generally better suited for direct data transfer from on-premises SQL Server to a Fabric Warehouse.
An eventstream is designed for real-time ingestion and processing of streaming data, making it unsuitable for a batch copy operation from a relational database.
