Azure SQL Database Tutorial | Relational databases in Azure

Azure SQL Database is one of the key data storage solution for structured data in Azure. If you need to manage structured data via schema, constraints and relationships or you need to explore your data via rich query language then this might be the right service for you.
In this episode I give you introduction to what Azure SQL Database is and what are the key reasons to use relational databases. This video also shows what are the key drivers to choose the right pricing and performance models and a demo of creation, management and connecting to Azure SQL.

[@karlduckett]

Are these database considered secure from the outset- without having to do anything else to ensure the data is safe?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thank you Karl :)

[@AdamMarczakYT]

It actually depends on the security requirements. Some will have to be set up but a lot including encryption and firewall are set by default.

[@petrodyak]

Thanks, Adam for the really good videos about Azure!
It helped me at the beginning of the path of learning Azure. As a result, I had passed an exam AZ-900.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Fantastic! Great job my friend 🙂 👊 what next goal do you have on your Azure journey?

[@petrodyak]

@@AdamMarczakYT I want to pass exam DP-200.
Is it a harder exam then AZ-900?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Well definitely DP-200 because is specialized. AZ-900 is just introductionary.

[@priyankaduggal]

@@AdamMarczakYT Hey Adam.Thanks for the simple to understand videos.It compels me to watch your videos in my free time rather than spending time on docial media😀.Do you have any videos for DP 200?

[@shobhanganta8578]

thank you!

[@bigfarmerUK]

Thanks Adam. Very useful & clear explanation & good hands-on examples. Like your style!!
BTW, you can register servers in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) which will save server connection & login details.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Yea, I forgot to mention that. But I think they still prompt you to log in when you close SSMS when using Azure AD integrated with MFA option. But I love that It also nicely integrates with data studio recently :) Thank you :)

[@arulmouzhiezhilarasan8518]

Good video with great content Adam! I was having some doubt reg when to use single/managed instance,elastic pools, server-less, dtu/vcore based etc before., by seeing this video, i can understand those now theoretically. Can you show 1 real scenario practically by creating databases under each of those options to differentiate between scenarios when to use which option. Viewers Request!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Glad it was helpful! Added your idea to the list of potential topics. Thanks!

[@MrKlhot]

Thanks for the tutorials , Wonderful presentation.If possible can you show how to create users and setting permissions for different groups like on premises
