Back to Basic - create new Azure SQL DB

Hi All


Long time no posts, i have been busy in last few months on a hard day 2 day work and did not 

had the chance to publish some posts.

So i have decided to sit and write some "Back to Basic" posts.


Today i will write about how to create an Azure SQL Db from the portal.



  1. Choose the Subscription.

  2. RG - if its in special Project connect to its RG (Resource group is a virtual collection of resources in order to easy manage budgets.)

  3. DB Name

  4. Server - choose the correct or create one(Server has limited manage capabilities on the DB like security, backup policies and other rules)

  5. Choose no (elastic pool is a feature that will not be explained here)

  6. This is the server tier, means the power of the DB and by pass the payments of the DB (i will have special post on the new tiers options, for this post i will leave the default)

  7. This is the Storage redundancy, for now leave it in the default option.


now we will move to the Networking tab:


8 - 9. Configuration of networking and security is depend on each organization policy, for example if you need private endpoint then you can not configure the whitelist FW rules. But if you want DB with out any security restrictions you can just add your IP and that is all.



Nothing to do here


10 - use what you need

11 - Change to what you prefer




Tags are for better managing.


12 - if all is good you can create the DB, if you gets error you need to go to the relevant error - here its in the basic tab, and to understand the error.


13 - you can create a template for it, and recreate DB from template.


That is all for today

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...

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!

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 ...
