How to measure the performance of the Azure SQL DB?


I need to measure the SQL Azure DB performance using DTA, is it possible or not, if not what is the workaround to consume a workload file (.trc)??


Solution

  • Database Engine Tuning Advisor does not support Azure SQL Database. It is also not possible to create a trace file from an Azure SQL Database using SQL Server Profiler.

    SQL Azure automates the creation of indexes that may improve performance of your workload with a feature named automatic tuning. Automatic Tuning on Azure SQL also drops redundant indexes and uses the best execution plan for queries
