Azure SQL DB Improvements :
When Microsoft Azure SQL Database was introduced, it had only a small subset of the features available in the SQL Server database engine. With the introduction of version V12 a few years ago, Azure SQL Database is now an enterprise-class platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. Of course, Microsoft continued to add new features and functionalities into Azure SQL Database. Join this dataMinds evening session to learn more about some cool new features that are available now in Azure SQL Database, like

Hyperscale
