Before you start

Explore Azure SQL Database
In this exercise you’ll provision an Azure SQL Database resource in your Azure subscription, and then use SQL to
Provision an
Azure SQL query the tables in a relational database.
Database
resource This lab will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Before you start

You’ll need an Azure subscription in which you have administrative-level access.

Provision an Azure SQL Database resource

1. In the Azure portal, select ＋ Create a resource from the upper left-hand corner and search for Azure SQL.
Then in the resulting Azure SQL page, select Create.

2. Review the Azure SQL options that are available, and then in the SQL databases tile, ensure Single
database is selected and select Create.

3. Enter the following values on the Create SQL Database page, and leave all other properties with their
default setting:

Subscription: Select your Azure subscription.

Resource group: Create a new resource group with a name of your choice.
Database name: AdventureWorks
Server: Select Create new and create a new server with a unique name in any available location. Use
SQL authentication and specify your name as the server admin login and a suitably complex
password (remember the password - you’ll need it later!)
Want to use SQL elastic pool?: No
Workload environment: Development
Compute + storage: Leave unchanged
Backup storage redundancy: Locally-redundant backup storage

4. On the Create SQL Database page, select Next :Networking >, and on the Networking page, in the
Network connectivity section, select Public endpoint. Then select Yes for both options in the Firewall
rules section to allow access to your database server from Azure services and your current client IP
address.

5. Select Next: Security > and set the Enable Microsoft Defender for SQL option to Not now.

6. Select Next: Additional Settings > and on the Additional settings tab, set the Use existing data option
to Sample (this will create a sample database that you can explore later).

7. Select Review + Create, and then select Create to create your Azure SQL database.

8. Wait for deployment to complete. Then go to the resource that was deployed, which should look like this:

9. In the pane on the left side of the page, select Query editor (preview), and then sign in using the
administrator login and password you specified for your server.

If an error message stating that the client IP address isn’t allowed is displayed, select the Allowlist IP … link
at the end of the message to allow access and try to sign in again (you previously added you own computer’s
client IP address to the firewall rules, but the query editor may connect from a different address depending on
your network configuration.)

The query editor looks like this:

10. Expand the Tables folder to see the tables in the database.

11. In the Query 1 pane, enter the following SQL code:

Sql  Copy

SELECT * FROM SalesLT.Product;

12. Select ▷ Run above the query to run it and view the results, which should include all columns for all rows
in the SalesLT.Product table as shown here:

13. Replace the SELECT statement with the following code, and then select ▷ Run to run the new query and
review the results (which includes only the ProductID, Name, ListPrice, ProductCategoryID columns):

Sql  Copy

SELECT ProductID, Name, ListPrice, ProductCategoryID

FROM SalesLT.Product;

14. Now try the following query, which uses a JOIN to get the category name from the
SalesLT.ProductCategory table:

Sql  Copy

SELECT p.ProductID, p.Name AS ProductName,

c.Name AS Category, p.ListPrice
FROM SalesLT.Product AS p
JOIN [SalesLT].[ProductCategory] AS c
ON p.ProductCategoryID = c.ProductCategoryID;

15. Close the query editor pane, discarding your edits.

❕ Tip: If you’ve finished exploring Azure SQL Database, you can delete the resource group that you created in this exercise.
