Can someone explains me the difference between Concurrent sessions, concurrent workers, external concurrent connections and concurrent log ins in Azure SQL database ?
Further, how would someone monitor active sessions,workers etc (any SQL queries) ?
Thanks.
Here we go:
The maximum number of sessions and workers allowed depends on your databases's service tier: https://www.bluematador.com/docs/troubleshooting/azure-sql-sessions-and-workers#:~:text=Sessions%20refers%20to%20the%20number,on%20your%20databases's%20service%20tier.
I have a query that you can run on the master database and can give you statistics about that:
