Tune an Azure SQL DB like you can with a physical box. It's possible that when you migrate an on-premises SQL Serverĭatabase to Azure SQL DB, you get slower query executions times. Because of this, the performance of IO operations In other words, all DML queries (INSERT, UPDATE,ĭELETE and MERGE) are fully logged. This cannot be set toīulk-logged or simple recovery model. Is for example that Azure SQL DB always runs inįull recovery model to enable point-in-time restores. SQL DB's main purpose is to run OLTP workloads. ![]() Snowflake is built to run large analytical queries, while Azure SQL DB is not. You would run some queries, chances are Snowflake will outperform Azure SQL DB. Set is suited for Azure SQL DB, for example a couple of million rows – and If you would load a data set in both Snowflake and Azure SQL DB - and the data You want to stay inside the Microsoft Data Platform, Azure Synapse Analytics isĪ better option to process large amounts of data than Azure SQL DB. Scale up to the petabyte range and the storage costs are considerably cheaper. Main purpose is handling OLTP workloads, maybe hybrid workloads (where you combineįor very large data warehouses, Snowflake seems a better option since it can This all means hyperscale is a ratherĮxpensive offering for storing your data. Has a storage cost of about $23 per TB/month. (depending if you use pre-allocated storage or on-demand) and Azure Synapse Analytics Snowflake has prices ranging between $25 and $40 per TB/month However, the storage costsĪren't cheap: for my region, it's $0.119 per GB per month. Hyperscale service tier which can go up to 100TB. In its core and it's not designed to process very large volumes of data withīusiness critical tiers of Azure SQL DB, storage is limited to 4TB. Server, Azure SQL Managed Instance or Azure Synapse Analytics are out of scope.Ī first indicator if you should choose for Snowflake rather than an Azure SQLĭB instance, is the size of the data warehouse.
