Whether it is learning different techniques to monitor and tune an Azure SQL database or improving performance using in-memory technology, this book will enable you to make the most out of Azure SQL database features and functionality for data management solutions.
By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed with key aspects of an Azure SQL database instance, such as migration, backup restorations, performance optimization, high availability, and disaster recovery.

A “recipe” book for setting up and administering a DB
I liked many of the concepts, but my situation is different than his MS Azure set up. I am inheriting a MS Azure PaaS, and I need additional information other than if I had set up my PaaS exactly as he recommended. I would return the kindle book if this were a possibility.I really like Murach’s SQL Server for developers, but I needed something that would tell me where there are different commands in the cloud because I keep getting errors when using scripts that work in local SQL Server.

Der Autor führt Schritt für Schritt durch verschiedene Datenbankszenarien in Azure. Er stellt nicht nur Howtows vor, sondern, und das fand ich wesentlich spannender, erklärt auch den Blick unter die Haube, beispielsweise Index-Aufbau und Datenbankstrukturen in Azure. Sehr schön fand ich auch die Einbindung in Client-Tools wie das SSMS und das Verwalten von Azure Datenbanken durch Stored Procedures. Einige Kapitel behandeln das Thema Performance und, ganz wichtig, wie Metriken in Azure zur Leistungsmessung herangezogen werden können. Das Buch ist auch zur Vorbereitung auf das Examen DP -300 geeignet. Die Grafiken sind in schwarz-weià abgedruckt, können aber in Farbe von der Verlagsseite heruntergeladen werden.
