 ## Permissions
 
 On [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion_md](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] and SQL Managed Instance, requires `VIEW SERVER STATE` permission.
 
+In Microsoft Fabric, membership in the **Contributor** [workspace role](/fabric/fundamentals/roles-workspaces#-workspace-roles) or more privileged role is needed to query `sys.dm_tran_active_transactions`.
+
 On SQL Database **Basic**, **S0**, and **S1** service objectives, and for databases in **elastic pools**, the [server admin](/azure/azure-sql/database/logins-create-manage#existing-logins-and-user-accounts-after-creating-a-new-database) account, the [Microsoft Entra admin](/azure/azure-sql/database/authentication-aad-overview#administrator-structure) account, or membership in the `##MS_ServerStateReader##` [server role](/azure/azure-sql/database/security-server-roles) is required. On all other SQL Database service objectives, either the `VIEW DATABASE STATE` permission on the database, or membership in the `##MS_ServerStateReader##` server role is required.   
 
 ### Permissions for SQL Server 2022 and later
 
 Requires VIEW SERVER PERFORMANCE STATE permission on the server.
 
-## Examples  
-  
-### A. Using sys.dm_tran_active_transactions with other DMVs to find information about active transactions
- The following example shows any active transactions on the system and provides detailed information about the transaction, the user session, the application that submitted, and the query that started it and many others.  
-  
+## Remarks
+
+To call this dynamic management view from [!INCLUDE[ssazuresynapse-md](../../includes/ssazuresynapse-md.md)] or [!INCLUDE[ssPDW](../../includes/sspdw-md.md)], use the name `sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_active_transactions` [!INCLUDE[synapse-analytics-od-unsupported-syntax](../../includes/synapse-analytics-od-unsupported-syntax.md)]
