Okay honestly I have done this once. I have deleted Azure SQL Databases and then try and find the quickest way to recover. The Azure portal is actually pretty good when it comes to deleting resources, for example it will usually ask you to re-type the name of the resource to confirm deletion, so you can tell what a bad mistake I made.
A quick elementary post which is my entry to this months’ T-SQL Tuesday entry hosted by a good friend SQLDoubleG http://www.sqldoubleg.com/2017/07/03/tsql2sday-92-lessons-learned-the-hard-way/.
We are here to talk about mistakes we used to make. There is one mistake that I am going to discuss and is something that I used to do 10 years ago, obviously I do not do this anymore.
After using Microsoft SQL Server for over 10 years going back to MySQL feels weird BUT with Azure it is really easy to build a MySQL database and I have a feeling that this might be the start of an incoming change for some. For this post I want to show you what Azure currently offers I then create a MySQL database and connect to it via Azure Cloud Shell.
