Getting Started With Azure SQL Data Warehouse

What is Azure SQL Data Warehouse

Azure SQL Data Warehouse is a cloud-based, scale-out database capable of processing massive volumes of data - both relational and non-relational.

  • Store large volumes of data
  • Consolidate disparate data into a single location
  • Shape, model, transform and aggregate data
  • Perform query analysis across large datasets
  • Ad-hoc reporting across large data volumes
  • All using simple SQL constructs

Now let's get started with the following steps:

Step 1: Sign in to the online Microsoft Azure Portal.

Step 2: In the Jumpbar, click New, then click Data + Storage, and then SQL Data Warehouse.


Step 3:

In the SQL Data Warehouse account blade, specify the desired configuration for the SQL Data Warehouse account (Name, Performance, Server, Select Source & Resource Group). Click Create button at the bottom of the screen to create the new database.

After a few minutes your database will be ready.
