Thank you so much . Quick but good introduction.

Hello, Thank you for the detailed information. I'm missing the essence of this 'virtualization'. Using a client tool like SSMS (or Azure Studio), you can still connect to a remote database. All the database objects are defined and reside on the server, and nothing is local. All queries are run on the server and returned to your client tool. How is this any different from whatever you have just shown? Even in this model, you defined something called 'external data sources' and ran queries against them. So I can't see the difference between just running regular queries on any database server using a client tool vs. this approach.
