In our recent articles published on this forum we have been discussing characteristics of the Microsoft Azure SQL Database offering. So far, we have been dedicating our attention to the process of its deployments (mainly by importing schema and data from an on-premises environment) and applying initial settings critical from the security standpoint (controlling, in particular, authentication, authorization, and firewall access). While we have occasionally employed Windows PowerShell to facilitate some of the relevant configuration tasks, we have not yet provided a comprehensive overview of its capabilities in regard to managing SQL Databases (or, in general, cloud-resident resources). Now it is time to address this unintended oversight.
