Difference between Azure database for MySQL and Azure SQL database


I am learning azure from Microsoft learn using this link. Does anyone know the basic difference between "Azure Database for MySQL" and "Azure SQL Database"? Both seem very similar.

As I am a beginner, can anyone explain the difference in an easy way?


Solution

  • ok lets start with what is common for both. with Azure prefixed, both are installed in cloud and managed by Microsoft. Meaning Microsoft is responsible for the databases to be installed, up and running with 0 or minimal downtime. I think this is clear.

    Now lets start with differences. Please visit the links below and let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!
