Comparing Azure Analysis Services with On-Premises SQL Server Analysis Services

Organizations working with on-premises SQL Server Analysis Services may not be able to guarantee optimized deployment of their models and secure and compliant data, especially during peak usage. The more companies invest in hardware and software licenses, the less the deployment of on-premises SSAS solutions becomes attractive, especially for smaller organizations with limited or narrow budgets.

Question of the Day

A Quick Restore

While doing some testing of an application, I wanted to reset my environment after doing some testing with this code:

USE DNRTest

BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
/*
Bunch of stuff tested here
*/RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens if this runs, assuming the "bunch of stuff" isn't anything affecting the instance.
