Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Single Database and Elastic Pool?
A Single Database is a self-contained database with its own resources. An Elastic Pool allows you to share resources among multiple databases, which can be more cost-effective if your databases have varying usage patterns.
What does 'General Purpose' mean for this SQL Database?
General Purpose is designed for most common workloads, offering a balance of compute, memory, and I/O. It is suitable for applications that require dependable performance without the extreme demands of mission-critical or business-critical tiers.
How does the vCore model work?
The vCore model allows you to choose the number of virtual cores, amount of memory, and storage you need. This provides more transparency and flexibility compared to older DTU models.
