For the SQL Azure Databases in multiple regions and multiple subscriptions, we keep getting recommendations/warning regarding the addition of indexes is required, but those recommendations are implemented already and those indexes exist. We understand that manually applied recommendations will remain active and shown in the list of recommendations for 24-48 hrs. before the system automatically withdraws them but it's a recurring issue for them and is causing lot of churn. Basically we want to understand if the recommendation has already been applied why is the base issue not resolved? Will they be there forever or is there a way to force the recommendation to be evaluated again. Thanks.hreddyJun 11, 2025Microsoft690Views0likes1CommentQuery from Excel in Synapse Serverless

Is there a script to allow the dropping all InterimTables from a database without having to do them one by one. I seem to have built up an amount of these when building tables from various pipelines that have failed.Roop_s610Jun 06, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes1CommentDecrease used storage in Azure
Hello, I want to reduce the storage used by an azure SQL database. I have managed to reduce the "allocated space" to below 6 GB. Can I change the "Max storage" to 6 GB without impact on the database itself? I can not find a definite answer online.

We created our Azure SQL database few years ago and at that time RCSI was not a default setting. I am trying to enable RCSI now but unsuccessful. Database details: We have Azure SQL database (single database) in East US. A read replica (Geo-replication) was created against it. Steps identified from documentation to enable RCSI: ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] REMOVE SECONDARY ON SERVER [SecondaryServerName]; ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE; ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON; ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] SET MULTI_USER; ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] ADD SECONDARY ON SERVER [SecondaryServerName]; Second script to set single user returns below error. I am unable to proceed after this. Any help to resolve the problem and enable RCSI is appreciated. Msg 1468, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The operation cannot be performed on database "[DatabaseName]" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group. Some operations are not allowed on a database that is participating in a database mirroring session or in an availability group. Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER DATABASE statement failed.SolvedswaroopdandalaFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor163Views0likes2CommentsExtend the period of storing telemetry of all services of my subscription.
I have had now 4 support cases in which i see strange behavior of my services in the Azure cloud. For this i created support cases. We are a software company building solution on the Microsoft stack. In case of an incident we first look to our solution and will do an RCA. Sometimes the root cause is not related to our solution but to the Azure services. When seeing this we create a MS support case. It will take some time for MS to understand the case. A lot of time the case, is moved to different engineers. Because of this we run out of the 30 days for which telemetry of our services are available for the MS engineers. So we loose all interesting data to find the Root cause. Please extend the 30 days. This is really too short for analyzing situations. In our company we store telemetry information for 1 year. It is not acceptable for our customers that we do not know the root cause of the incident.AndrevandeGraafFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor141Views0likes6Comments
