- Login to Azure portal using your Azure credentials.
- On the portal, under Azure Services, click on SQL databases. If you don’t see SQL databases, click on More Services.
4. Under SQL databases click on Add
5. Enter information under Project details. If you already have an existing Resource group, you can select from the drop down list or Create new. Resource group is just a bucket of related items. For this example, I named it SQLDatabase.
6. Enter the Database name and Create a new Server. I specified AdventureWorksLT as I will be importing this database.
I have created a new server – sqldemooca.
SQL elastic pool option is used if you want to manage the performance and cost of multiple databases. I will set this to default No as I am just creating a sample database.
7. Next, select Networking and specify network connectivity and firewall rules.
7. Next select Additional Settings.
Here you will specify how you will populate the database. You can choose None to create a blank database, or Backup is used to restore database from an existing Backup. I will select Sample.
8. Next option is Tag. Tags are used to view consolidated billing by providing the same tag to multiple resources. You can skip if you are not using multiple resources.
9. Next click on Review + Create. This will create your database. It will also specify the pricing for your resource.
