Stage 5: Create and Configure SQL Database

Create an Azure Single SQL Database using the Microsoft link.

  • Use a 'Basic' tier and 100 MB storage as this is sufficient for this POC. For DataSource, use 'None'.

  • Complete rest of the steps up to 10.

  • In the Query the database step 3, copy paste the 'bikes.sql' contents file provided as part of this source repo and 'Run'.

  • The Bikes SQL Table with sample data should be populated.

  • A document database like Cosmos DB could be a better alternative.

  • Integration with Azure search index schema is better with Cosmos DB as both services are in the direction of Schema-less.

  • If a Normalized SQL DB is used, then a View can be used joining the required tables and then integrate the view with Azure Search.
