Setting up a cloud data source: Azure SQL database
Azure SQL is a suite of SQL database services on the Azure cloud. It offers automated backups, high availability, and advanced security, making it ideal for traditional SQL database needs with cloud scalability and integration.
While Azure SQL provides extensive control for database management, Dataverse offers a higher level of abstraction for faster and easier development. Depending on the needs of your project, sometimes having granular control of your database is a must.
This recipe will help you build an Azure SQL database that might be needed for an app.
