Microsoft Azure – Create Azure SQL Database

In this article, you will learn to create and query an Azure SQL database. SQL database is a high-performance reliable cloud database. If you have a data-driven application or a website that you want to create a database to support, you can use any programming language that you prefer and you don’t have to manage any of the infrastructures. 

Implementation:

Follow the below steps to create an Azure SQL Database:

Step 1: Firstly, go to create a resource and select SQL Database.

Step 2: So first, there are the project details. For any resource you want to create, you need to specify a subscription and a resource group. The resource group you could use sort of a folder or a bucket; you put all the related resources together. You manage policies, permissions. Once you are done with it, you can delete it. 

Step 3: Then you have entered the database name,  select a server and a region for the database, or you could create a new one. If you had a large number of databases and want to manage the performance and the cost together, you could put it in an elastic pool.

Step 4: The last thing that you want to do is fill the database with some sample data, so you can play around and query it late. You could also fill it with a backup if you had a former database. But by default, it’s just going to be an empty database. You can do whatever you want with it.

Step 5:  And that’s all you need to do. Then,  go to review and create.See it’s running some validation, make sure there are no errors. You didn’t make any mistakes. 

• And then you can have one final look at the cost of the database, making sure you are familiar with all the settings and defaults that were answered. Make sure you are happy with everything. And go ahead and just click create.

And that is all it takes to create an Azure SQL database.
