Azure SQL Database

  • I attended a Azure seminar just last week and the presenter said "there are strategies for backing up your databases" when he was asked about it. I asked if "backup database [dbname] to disk etc." was one of them and he said that it was not. He didn't know what they were, but he said they existed. It left me somewhat less than inspired. In fairness, the presentation was focused on on Azure as a whole, not SQL.

  • Thank you, Steve for small correction.

    Appreciate everyone for comments and sharing experience which helps to enhance knowledge and understanding of new technology.

  • I read the question after Steve`s correction, so it was easy and I got it right.

  • Good QOTD. Easy but good to know more about azure. 🙂

  • good one.

  • I knew this one based on experience.

    Even if I hadn't had experience with SQL Azure and backups I still would have guessed "Feature not supported". This reason tends to be what I run into more often than not when working with SQL Azure and try to do something I normally do on on-premise SQL Servers.
