Counting distinct values
I’m trying to create a view but I’m struggling to find a solution to this issue. I need a method that counts multiple visits to the same location as one if they occur within 14 days of each other. If there are multiple visits to the same location and the gap between them is more than 14 days, then each should be counted separately. For example, in the attached screenshot: Brussels had visits on 08/05 and 15/05, which are less than 14 days apart, so this should be counted as one visit. Dublin had visits more than a month apart, so these should be counted as two separate visits. Could someone please guide me on how to achieve this? Thanks.

Azure Data Studio - SQL DB Project build error MSB4020
Hi folks. I'm just getting started with ADS as we need to move an existing on-prem DB to Azure. I 'm trying to use ADS to set up the target DB. I installed the SQL Database Projects extension and created a project from our on-prem DB, but every time I try to build it I get Error MSB4020: stdout: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.403\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets(1199,3): error MSB4020: The value "" of the "Project" attribute in element <Import> is invalid.

Azure SQL programmatic access
I work with a team of statisticians who would like to programmatically access an Azure SQL database via R/R Studio without human interaction. Access is setup currently with Microsoft Entra with MFA. The team ideally want to run their R script and connect to the database, without having to be there to enter their login credentials and MFA, can this be done via a key or SAS token? What is the best or recommended method to do this? Thank you. Z
Copy schema (with data) from one Azure SQL database to another Azure SQL database
Hallo, We need copy 3 schemas (incl tables, indexes, keys and data) to another Azure SQL database. We decided to switch from 2 database to one more powerful. There is a lot of data, smallest database is about 1TB data. I tried do it SSMS or BCP on client VM but it does not work due amount of data and transfer speed. I am looking something to do this in Azure portal. Both Azure databases are on one Azure host. Current situation: database source A_DB schemas c11, c12, c13; about 1TB data in 300 tables database target B_DB schemes c21, c22, c23, c24, c25; Hyperscale and 3TB data Desired result: target B_DB after copying the schema consists from schemas with the date c11, c12, c13, c21, c22, c23, c24, database A_DB can be deleted Please advise what azure service or tool can i use for it. It's a simple task in Oracle but it look more complicated in Azure SQL environment. So far I have found how to exp/imp or backup/restore an entire database, but nothing about how i can import schema with a lot of data in Azure environment. Thank you
Azure SQL Managed Instance Business Critical Tier, Transactional Replication, and failing over
Hi all, My company is planning a migration from SQL Server onprem to Managed Instance on Azure, using the business critical tier with zone-redundancy for HA. We currently have a peer-to-peer replication setup where our data services team updates data on a second read/write node that is separate from our main application read/write node, and the replication keeps everything in sync. My question is: on Azure if we have a second read/write MI (for our data team) syncing with the main business-critical tiered MI and there is a failover there to one of the secondary read-only replicas, what is the impact on the transactional replication to the data team MI? Could it break? Or would it now just sync with the new primary read/write node? Thanks.Hourly pricing on SQL database Provisioned VS Serverless
Hi, I've beed searching and using the azure calculator to approximate a budget for a project I'm working on. Question 1: If the Provisioned tier doesn't have auto pause-resume, and you don't stopped manually ¿Why Azure calculator offers you to calculate price in a hourly demmand? Question 2: If the Serverless tier does have auto pause-resume, ¿Why Azure calculator doesn't offers you to calculate price in a hourly demmand? I trying to figure out the price of Serverless just for 10 hours of activity before the automatic stop takes effects. Best regards JonaZone redundancy
Now generally available in select regions, your new and existing Azure SQL Databases and elastic pools that use the general purpose tier can enable the zone redundant configuration. This configuration is offered for both serverless and provisioned compute. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-sql-blog/zone-redundancy-for-azure-sql-database-general-purpose-tier/ba-p/3280376 Are you planning to shift to this configuration in the future? What scenarios will this help you with?
