Create Your SQL Database In Azure Portal

Hello everyone, in this article, we will explore about creating an Azure SQL Database in the Azure platform. We will take an overview of the Azure SQL database. The Azure SQL Database is a general-purpose relational database. With the help of this relational database, we can create a highly available and high-performance data layer storage in Azure. The highlight is that we can use advanced query processing features such as intelligent query processing. As said of the database as a service, the database will take care of backup, high availability of data and the recovery process. The main advantage is that we can scale-up and scale-down the database based on our requirement without any interface.
 
The pricing of using the SQL database in Azure is calculated on the basis of usage and the selection of service tier which we have selected. Now we can get into hands-on creating a new SQL database in the Azure portal.
