Timeline (last 90 days)
The Azure SQL family offers three main targets: SQL Server on Azure VM, Azure SQL Database (including Hyperscale) and Azure SQL Managed Instance.
Hyperscale is one of the three service tiers in the Azure SQL Database vCore model, the other two being General Purpose and Business Critical.
Serverless is not a fourth service tier of Azure SQL Database, but rather a compute option available for both General Purpose and Hyperscale.
sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint is a system stored procedure in Azure SQL Database and SQL Server 2025 that allows HTTP/HTTPS REST calls to be made directly from within T-SQL code and responses to be handled in JSON format.
