SQLAzure and Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server

The Air battles just began, it will be great fight and the clients will be the main beneficiaries.

Amazon just release (after they for few years Oracle and MySql DB’s) Support for Microsoft SQLServer, you can put on AWS SQLServer 2008R2. by using your License or use their with full package.

You do not need to install – the AWS will do it.

I will write long Post in Hebrew – and you can translate it, I will write goods and beds of each SQL service.

Now those 2 huge, technology companies are fighting in the same Battlefield, but Amazon put MSFT in a very deep conflict, they want everyone uses SQLServer, but from Amazon RDS too? sure they want…  but then what about SQLAzure??? very deep and complicated dilemma…

קרבות האוויר רק החלו, זה יהיה קרב גדול ונראה כי הלקוחות יהיו הנהנים העיקריים.
אמזון שיחררו (לאחר שנים אחדות שכבר היה אצלם אורקל ו-MySQL ) תמיכה ל SQLServer כל אחד יכול בלחיצת כפתור להפעיל  2008R2 SQLServer. באמצעות רשיון או להשתמש בשלהם עם החבילה המלאה.
אין צורך להתקין - AWS יעשה את זה.
אני אכתוב פוסט ארוך בעברית - אני אכתוב על יתרונות וחסרונות  של כל שירות SQL. כמו למשל מה יש ב RDS ואין ב Azure, לדוגמא גיבויים או רפליקציות, ומצד שני אתה עובד בגירסת 2008 וכשתירצה לשדרג זה ייקח משאבים.
שתי חברות טכנולוגיה גדולות אלו נלחמות בשדה הקרב האכזרי של הענן, אמזון שמה את  MSFT בקונפליקט עמוק מאוד, מצד אחד MSFT רוצים שכולם ישתמשו ב SQLServer, אבל מצד שני לא באמזון RDS אלא ב AZURE. זוהי דילמה מאוד עמוקה ומורכבת ל MSFT, מעניין לשמוע מה הם אומרים.

ימים יגידו מה יהיה… ההנחה שלי שבאיזהשלב יהיה חייב להיות שיתוף פעולה… כרגע יש קרב ענקים.

בימים הקרובים אעלה פוסט עם תמונות הסברים רשימות ועוד כרגע מי שרוצה מוזמן להיכנס לאתר של אמזון ולבדוק

How to restore deleted Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool

  Existing dedicated pool can be easily restored from Azure portal or PowerShell command, but for now deleted pool could be restored from PowerShell only! Example: # Connect to Azure with system-assigned managed identity $AzureContext = (Connect-AzAccount -Identity).context # set and store context $AzureContext = Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName $AzureContext.Subscription -DefaultProfile $AzureContext # $AzureContext = Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName $SubscriptionName -DefaultProfile $AzureContext $SubscriptionName="Databases" $ResourceGroupName="stg-rg-we" $ServerName="stg-synapse-we"   $DatabaseName="sql_we_2023_11_07_13_42" $NewDatabaseName="sql_dp_we_deleted" ######################################## $token = (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net).Token $SubscriptionId = "ce088f9e-1111111a3914b" $DedicatedPoolEndPoint = "stg-synapse-we.sql.azuresynapse.net" $DedicatedPoolName = $DatabaseNam...

The journey to the Lakehouse

A long time has passed since the last post, we have gone through a long and tedious journey to adapt what Azure offers us, to our needs. Our needs were simple, the Current Datawarehouse (SQL Server on VM inazure) served the BI. ML teams worked on GCP, we want to let both teams to work on Azure in a platform that will have the ability to scale and will not fail every 2 days. We checked: Snowflake on azure Synapse analytics GCP We decided to go for the full Azure product for the reasons: Migration time support costs Synapse as a platform contains many components, and the challenge was to find what fits  us as an organization and as a group. The knowledge of the people and their abilities influenced the plans. Here's what we planned and what we did: We start to put everything in the Data Lake in parquet or delta format, build on top of Azure ADLS gen 2. We had to move some data to T-SQL compatible platform, so this involves setting up a dedicated Synapse pool , which is a fully man...

From DBA to Data Engineer in Azure

I recently moved a role From being a DBA Manager, Who is responsible for the operational databases. I moved to manage the data engineering group. So what exactly is the difference between the two functions? DBA - Production Databases: SQL\ NoSQL- 24*7, powerful server on premise or on the cloud, managed or semi managed, security tasks, high performance is a target, multiregional, HA as top priority. Developers are using Microservices - so we have many applications many services and many many Databases. Many kinds of DB's like Cloud IAAS and PAAS. Secure and audit the data is must. The Clusters must have Uptime as long as we can achive. Data Modeling - is so important too. Challenges and Problems in the data bases systems Lots of DB’s Lots of creators / no standards Lots of Consumers (Query, tools, SLA) Raw data Lots of data resources Data silos In Data Engineering we have other challenges for example we have Data lake and Data Warehouses : Batch process. Stream Process. many data ...
