Explore Azure SQL Database

In this exercise you’ll provision an Azure SQL Database resource in your


Azure subscription, and then use SQL to query the tables in a relational
database.

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:
a. Subscription: Select your Azure subscription.
b. Resource group: Create a new resource group with a name of
your choice.
c. Database name: AdventureWorks
d. 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!)
e. Want to use SQL elastic pool?: No
f. Workload environment: Development
g. Compute + storage: Leave unchanged
h. 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:

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):

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:

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.
