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.

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.
