    8 DBA Tasks For Azure SQL: What's Different From On-Prem

    Uploaded by

    Joji K
    The document summarizes some of the key differences DBAs need to be aware of when managing Azure SQL databases compared to on-premises SQL Server databases. It covers that Azure SQL provides automatic updates without downtime, simplified permissions management in the database scope rather than at the server level, an easy portal experience for creating servers and deploying databases, configuration of firewalls or private endpoints, automated backups without manual administration, restoring databases with point-in-time recovery, using elastic jobs for scheduling tasks, and tools for cost management.

    The presentation discusses managing SQL databases that have been migrated to Azure, including differences from on-premises databases and automatic management features provided by Azure SQL.

    Some of the differences include automatic updates, managing permissions through the Azure portal, deploying databases, configuring firewalls/private endpoints, backups/restores, and cost management in Azure versus having to manage these tasks on-premises.

    Automatic management features provided by Azure SQL include automatic backups of databases, long term retention of backups, auditing and compliance features, and automatic application of SQL updates.

    What’s left for me to do in Azure SQL?

    • Performance tuning—to save your company money.
    • Network architecture—make sure your databases
    can all talk to each other in secure way
    • User Management and Security

    Automatic Updates:
    Never worry about upgrading an environment
    ever again

    • No more SQL patching

    • No more OS patching

    • Same version Query against SQL DB

    • Align your apps to compatibility level of your database

    • Microsoft has committed to not change the SQL Engine


    under a specific compatibility level

    Managing Permissions
    • Azure SQL is different than on prem

    • Make your admin a group to avoid


    single point of failure

    • Create users at the scope of an


    individual database

    *This doesn’t always work if you have devs that are using
    SSMS or Azure Data Studio because that will go to
    master.

    Recovery Time? It Depends

    The size of the database.


    The compute size of the database.

    replayed to recover to the restore point.
    The network bandwidth if the restore is to a
    different region.
    The number of concurrent restore requests
    being processed in the target region.
    Job Scheduling/Agent Tasks

    Use Transact-SQL (T-SQL) to create and manage Elastic Database Jobs
