Test failover for Azure SQL database
Hi I want to use a failover group to protect an Azure SQL server, for DR purposes, but I'm unsure how to perform a test failover. Can I use a recovery plan perform a test failover, keeping the primary node up and running for production, whilst the secondary is available for DR testing?

Hello, what are the commands to get a list of all users that have access to an Azure SQL Server? We are using AAD - Universal with MFA to login. I have tried several different ways using Master and from the Database, but most of us are db_owners. So it only shows dbo for login. How do we get all the users that have this role? Thanks for any help. Denise

Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool vs. Azure SQL vs SQL
Hello, currently we operate on-premises PostgreSQL DB that we use as our data warehouse. I would like to set up a data warehouse in Azure, but the Azure portal is bit confusing, as there are multiple options: 1) in Azure Synapse, there is dedicated SQL pool (formerly labeled as Azure Data Warehouse) Then, outside Azure Synapse there are two additional options: 2) Azure SQL database ( /BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.Sql%2Fazuresql ) and 3) "SQL database" (/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.Sql%2Fservers%2Fdatabases) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/data-guide/relational-data/data-warehousing describes that Azure SQL (#2 above) uses symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) while "Azure Synapse Analytics" (#1) above uses massively parallel processing (MPP). My data needs are not so vast to utilize the MPP. Thus it seems I should be considering #2, i.e. outside the Synapse Analytics. Azure SQL (#2) above further branches into "Single Database", "Elastic pool" and "Single instance managed DB". I am guessing that for my scenario, "Azure SQL - Single Database" is the best option. If I choose this, will I be able to use this storage in Azure Synapse Analytics? Furthermore, to use Azure Data Factory (ADF) - if I set up "Azure SQL - Single Database", should I be aiming to use Data Factory within Azure Synapse Analytics, or outside it (i.e. use ADF in Azure portal)?
