FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize slow-running queries in Azure SQL Database?

To optimize slow-running Azure SQL Database queries, analyze execution plans and manage indexes using Query Store to identify missing indexes and resolve performance bottlenecks. This approach ensures production-grade database reliability and adherence to Microsoft Azure best practices.

How do I implement Row-Level Security and Always Encrypted in Azure SQL?

Implement robust Azure SQL security and compliance by configuring Row-Level Security, Always Encrypted, and Azure AD authentication. These controls prevent security misconfigurations and satisfy requirements for production-grade database reliability and secure data access.

What's the best way to plan a zero-downtime migration to Azure SQL Managed Instance?

The best way to plan a zero-downtime Azure SQL Managed Instance migration is to execute proven migration patterns while provisioning resources using IaC tools like Bicep or Terraform. This ensures cost-efficiency and prevents infrastructure provisioning misconfigurations.

Does this approach support tuning T-SQL schema design for SQL Server on Azure VMs?

Yes, this approach supports tuning T-SQL schema design for SQL Server on Azure VMs. It optimizes environments through expert T-SQL tuning and schema design, resolving performance bottlenecks and ensuring production-grade database reliability across Azure SQL deployments.

Why does Azure SQL performance degrade and how can Query Store help troubleshoot it?

Azure SQL performance degrades due to missing indexes and inefficient execution plans. Query Store helps troubleshoot this by analyzing execution plans and identifying missing indexes, allowing you to resolve slow-running queries and restore production-grade database reliability.
