FailOver in SQL Azure DB with Geo Replication

Hi All
 
New feature was released lately - Fail Over in the Geo Replication in SQL Azure.
The Announcement is here:
 
 
As You can see they added Failover feature. That means that until today you have Primary and Secondary DB's, DATA moved on one direction and you could disconnect the connection when ever you wish. but then you have to build everything from the beginning, (you can look in my old post about geo-replications types in sql azure).
Now DATA moved backward, when you click Fail over - you still have 2 DB's but the Secondary become Primary and vise versa. I this this is a great feature.
you can also read in Hebrew about it in Geri's Reshef Blog
 
 
This is the new link
 
enjoy

Availability Zones in Azure and the relation to SLA in Azure SQL DB

שלום לכולם כאשר מקנפגים Azure SQL DB מנוהל והוא תחת Premium or Business Critical Toers מיקרוסופט שואלים אותך: Would you like to make this database zone redundant? מה זו השאלה הזו? מה ההשפעה שלה ומה העלות שלה? אז עשינו ובדקנו מה ההשפעה. הלינק הבסיסי להסבר הקונפיגורציה הזו הוא זה: https://azure.microsoft.com/is-is/blog/azure-sql-database-now-offers-zone-redundant-premium-databases-and-elastic-pools/ מה זה אומר? זה מסביר על המושג הקריטי Availability Zones ועל השימוש שלו ב SLA של הדיבי שלנו. ובכן בכל דאטה סנטר בענן יש בעצם 3 דאטה סנטרים, הכל מנותק אחד מהשני. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/availability-zones/az-overview לכל Azure SQL DB יש 3 עותקים ניסתרים, מיקרוסופט נותנת אופציה לשמור את אחד העותקים הניסתרים ב Availability Zone אחר. הדבר מעלה את ה SLA כך שאם יש תקלה ב Availability Zone אחד זה לא משפיע על ה DB. לכן אני ממליץ בחום לכולם לאפשר את הקונפיגורציה הזו.

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...

Configuring secondary database in Azure SQL DB - Bug found

Hi All Last week we had an issue with a secondary DB in geo replication and fail over group. To make the long story short we had to delete the secondary and recreate a secondary from scratch . And now let me tell you the story, we build a DB in P6 tier - very high, expensive and highly available. Then we add a geo replication copy via the platform, like it shows here. This is take from MSFT documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/active-geo-replication-overview It is written:  " Both primary and secondary databases are required to have the same service tier. It is also strongly recommended that the secondary database is created with the same backup storage redundancy and compute size (DTUs or vCores) as the primary. If the primary database is experiencing a heavy write workload, a secondary with lower compute size may not be able to keep up with it. That will cause redo lag on the secondary, and potential unavailability of the secondary. To mit...
