When choosing between Azure SQL Database and SQL Server, consider the following factors:

  1. Deployment Model:Azure SQL Database: Fully managed database service in Azure. Ideal for modern applications, offering scalability, intelligence, and minimal infrastructure management. SQL Server: Traditional on-premises or VM-based deployment.
  2. Compatibility:Azure SQL Database: Provides less compatibility with SQL Server than Azure SQL Managed Instance. Azure SQL Managed Instance: Offers full SQL Server access and feature compatibility for migrating SQL Servers to Azure.
  3. Management Complexity:Azure SQL Database: Requires minimal management; Azure handles most tasks. SQL Server: More control but also more operational complexity.
  4. Scalability:Azure SQL Database: Scales automatically based on demand. SQL Server: Requires manual scaling.
  5. Cost Model:Azure SQL Database: Pay-as-you-go pricing. SQL Server: Upfront licensing costs and ongoing maintenance.
  6. High Availability:Azure SQL Database: Guarantees 99.99-99.995% availability for every database. SQL Server: High availability configuration is your responsibility.
  7. Integration with Azure Services:Azure SQL Database: Seamlessly integrates with other Azure services. SQL Server: Less integrated with Azure services.

In summary, choose Azure SQL Database for modern cloud-native applications and Azure SQL Managed Instance for seamless migration from on-premises SQL Server.

Compiling a comprehensive list of factors to consider when choosing between Azure SQL Database and SQL Server. These points cover crucial aspects such as deployment model, compatibility, management complexity, scalability, cost model, high availability, and integration with other Azure services.

The decision depends on various factors including the nature of the application, specific requirements, control needs, and budget considerations.
