We are thrilled to announce that SQL Data Warehouse (SQL DW) has released accelerated and flexible restore points for fast data recovery. SQL DW is a fully managed and secure analytics platform for the enterprise, optimized for running complex queries fast across petabytes of data. The ability to quickly restore a data warehouse offers customers data protection from accidental corruption, deletion, and disaster recovery. We have seen scenarios where compliance requirements and having multiple test and development environments of a data warehouse enforce stricter capabilities in this area as well. To continue delivering first-class data protection and recovery, we have released the following critical improvements which are seamlessly integrated within the Azure Portal.

Earlier this year, in March, we announced the general availability (GA) of Azure Database for MySQL, offering the community version of MySQL together with built-in high availability, a 99.99 percent availability SLA, elastic scaling for performance, and industry leading security and compliance in Azure. Since GA, the team has been at work delivering a variety of new features and additional functionality to enhance and extend the value of this service. We are pleased to share with you some details about the new additions to this service based on customer feedback. Read about it in the Azure blog.Latest updates to Azure Database for PostgreSQL

We are delighted to announce that Resumable Online Index Create (ROIC) is now available for public preview in Azure SQL DB. The feature allows the ability to pause an index create operation and resume it later from where the index create operation was paused or failed, rather than having to restart the operation from the beginning. Additionally, this feature creates indexes using only a small amount of log space. You can use the new feature in a number of scenarios.

Today we’re announcing Column-Level Security (CLS) for Azure SQL Data Warehouse, an additional capability for managing security for sensitive data. Azure SQL Data Warehouse is a fast, flexible and secure cloud data warehouse tuned for running complex queries fast and across petabytes of data. As you move data to the cloud, securing your data assets is critical to building trust with your customers and partners. With the introduction of CLS, you can adjust permissions to view sensitive data by limiting user access to specific columns in your tables without having to redesign your data warehouse. This simplifies the overall security implementation as the access restriction logic is located in the database tier itself rather than away from the data in another application. CLS eliminates the need to introduce views to filter out columns for access control management. Read about it in the Azure blog.Announcing the general availability of Azure SQL Data Sync
We are delighted to announce the general availability (GA) of Azure SQL Data Sync! Azure SQL Data Sync allows you to synchronize data between Azure SQL Database and any other SQL endpoints unidirectionally or bidirectionally. It enables hybrid SQL deployment and allows local data access from both Azure and on-premises application. It also allows you to deploy your data applications globally with a local copy of data in each region, and keep data synchronized across all the regions. It will significantly improve the application response time and reliability by eliminating the impact of network latency and connection failure rate. Read about it in the Azure blog.
