I'm going to agree with Jeffrey here. I think you would need to tear down the existing AG before you can create a new AG, especially using the same name.

Open Microsoft SQL Management Studio on the Source server. Log in to your SQL server. Expand the server and as well as Databases. Right click on the name of your database and go to Tasks...

Oh crud. Sorry. I totally missed that this was a managed instance. I actually have never set up Extended Events on MI. I've done it multiple times on Azure SQL...

Just be careful what you use the Developers Edition for.  If the databases on your SQL Express system are production databases in any way, shape, or form, it's a...

If you go to the Microsoft certification web site, they list all the topics you need to study for the test. Study those topics. Done.

Yet, there's still a...

You can set up Availability Groups and other HA solutions using Azure (or AWS, GCP) as the secondary. I haven't had to do it myself in years & years, so...

When they say "pages" are they actually thinking about something like a Yabingle search result? Get the first 25 "pages" could mean the first set of results and the last...

You're looking at it. SQL Server Central has simply tons and tons of articles and instructions on how to work with SQL Server. I'd suggest the Stairways series as a...

Troubleshooting query performance is an enormous topic. In fact, if you look down in my signature line, I have two books on it. One is nearly 1,000 pages long. The...
