16. PART ONE: SQL AzureCollation
•Collationdoes it matter?
•default database collation used by Microsoft Azure SQL Database is SQL_LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_AS, where LATIN1_GENERAL is English (United States), CP1 is code page 1252, CI is case-insensitive, and AS is accent-sensitive
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
•When using an on-premiseSQL Server, you can set collations at server, database, column, and expression levels.
•Microsoft Azure SQL Database does not allow setting the collation at the server level.
•To use the non-default collation with Microsoft Azure SQL Database, set the collation with the Create Database Collate option, or at the column level or the expression level.
•SQL Database does not support the Collate option with the Alter Database command.
•By default, in SQL Database, temporary data will have the same collation as the database

SQL Server Backup Best Practices|
Written on October 17, 2007 by Brent Ozarin SQL Server
>> http://bit.ly/12oXm4h
I’ve been backing up SQL Servers for almost a decade now, and it’s time to share the lessons I’ve learned. All of this is my own opinion –your mileage may vary –but I’ll try to explain the reasoning behind the choices I make. I won’t address log shipping or snapshots this time around.
•Never back up databases to local disk.
•Back up databases to a fileshare, then back the share up to tape.
•Cost justify the network share with lower licensing costs & simpler backups.
•Back up to a different SAN if possible.
•My sweet spot for the backup array is raid 10 SATA.
•Backup agents like NetBackupand Backup Exec mean giving up scheduling control.
•Do regular fire drill rebuilds and restores.
•Build a standalone restore testbed.
•Keep management informed on restore time estimates.
•Trust no one.

32. PART THREE: Azure SQL Database Backup and Restore
Microsoft Azure SQL Database has built-in backups to support self-service Point in Time Restore and Geo-Restore for Basic, Standard, and Premium service tiers.
If you have Web or Business Edition databases, you must create your own backup strategy. You can use database copy or Import and Export services to create copies of the data and export the file to an Microsoft Azure storage account.
Built-in Automatic Backup in Azure SQL Database>> Azure SQL Database automatically creates backups of every active database using the following schedule:
•fulldatabase backup once a week,
•differential database backups once a day,
•transaction log backups every 5 minutes.
The full and differential backups are replicated across regions to ensure availability of the backups in the event of a disaster.

The timetaken to complete a restore depends on the size of the database and the length of the log chain. To get a good estimate of the restore time, you should periodically test restoring the database.
You can monitor the restore operation usingsys.dm_operation_status.
