Azure SQL DB - Service Tiers

Hi All
Since we got change in Azure SQL DB tiers last week - and have now P15 tier, I have collected some data about the tiers and put it all in 1 table.
I collected data from 3 sources:
 
Please note - all the DATA is not relevant to:
  • Elastic DB pools - collections few Azure SQL DB to a one pool.
  • Stretch DB - Migrated Tables from SQL Serve 2016 to Azure SQL DB.
  • SQL DWH - DB for DWH in Azure that can be stopped.
 
Changes can happened during time, the table is Updated for today (2015-08-11)
 
If you want it in you mail box let me know.

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...
