How I Built a Simple App with Azure SQL Database (Easy Peasy)

If you’re building an app that needs a database, Azure SQL Database is a great option. It’s fully managed, so you don’t have to worry about setup or maintenance. Here’s how I used it:

Step 1: Create a Database

1. Log in to the Azure portal.

2. Click on Create a resource > SQL Database.

3. Fill in the details (subscription, resource group, database name, server, etc.).

4. Configure the pricing tier and click Review + create > Create.

Step 2: Connect to the Database

1. Go to the database in the Azure portal.

2. Under Settings, click on Connection strings.

3. Copy the connection string for your preferred language (e.g., .NET, PHP, etc.).

Step 3: Perform CRUD Operations

1. Use a sample app (e.g., a to-do list or blog) and connect it to the database using the connection string.

2. Write simple queries to Create, Read, Update, and Delete data.

Step 4: Explore Features

1. Check out features like automatic backups, scaling, and built-in security.

This project is a great way to learn about managed databases and cloud-based app development.
