I'm always surprised by how slow Azure databases are, compared to actual/local installations ..... makes realistic testing very difficult unless on a carbon-copy of production.
Queries and inserts that run in seconds or less when local/dedicated, takes minutes on staging/prod.

I know, I know - you get what you pay for, but it's danged hard to find actual numbers for anything.

I've added Azure SQL change tracking to my set of samples showing how to expose various databases changefeed from ASP​.NET Core.

(Also for this one I got to play with Microsoft Graph extension for Bicep to make it credential-less)

Blogged: **Enabling auditing in Azure SQL with Terraform**

Not quite as obvious as I thought it would be.

Anyone have experience with the JSON column support of #AzureSQL ?

I need to store an array of integers in a heavily read table as efficiently as possible. I also need to be able to query rows that contain that integer.

I'm also needing to have an #EntityFramework6 lib in another application able to query the array out of the JSON to use locally. Feels like it should "just work" but Microsoft docs aren't always straightforward about the pitfalls.

I'm gonna start experimenting later tonight.
