This guide will walk you through the initial setup of your Azure SQL Database.
Let's start with creating a database and setting up some basic operations.
Azure SQL Database is a fully managed SQL Server service that provides a scalable and secure way to run your applications.
It's ideal for applications that need to handle large amounts of data and high traffic.
To create a database, you'll need to: 1. Sign in to the Azure portal. 2. Navigate to SQL Database. 3. Click "Create."
After creating, you'll receive a unique connection string. You can find this in the Azure portal under SQL Database > Database connections.
Save the database connection. This is your connection string.
Let's run a simple SQL command:
SELECT * FROM employees;
This query retrieves all data from the employees table.
