Database workload is composed of queries determined to be the most significant to the database performance, such as the most repeated and largest queries. Because each database is unique based on its structure, data, usage, and application, each workload baseline that is generated is specific and unique to that workload. Intelligent Insights, independent of the workload baseline, also monitors absolute operational thresholds and detects issues with excessive wait times, critical exceptions, and issues with query parameterizations that might affect performance.\nAfter a performance degradation issue is detected from multiple observed metrics by using artificial intelligence, analysis is performed. A diagnostics log is generated with an intelligent insight on what is happening with your database. Intelligent Insights makes it easy to track the database performance issue from its first appearance until resolution. Each detected issue is tracked through its lifecycle from initial issue detection and verification of performance improvement to its completion.\n![Database performance analysis workflow](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/media/intelligent-insights-overview/intelligent-insights-concept.png?view=azuresql)\nThe metrics used to measure and detect database performance issues are based on query duration, timeout requests, excessive wait times, and errored requests. For more information on metrics, see [Detection metrics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#detection-metrics>).\nIdentified database performance degradations are recorded in the Intelligent Insights SQLInsights log with intelligent entries that consist of the following properties:\nExpand table\nProperty \| Details\n---\|---\nDatabase information \| Metadata about a database on which an insight was detected, such as a resource URI.\nObserved time range \| Start and end time for the period of the detected insight.\nImpacted metrics \| Metrics that caused an insight to be generated:\n * Query duration increase [seconds].\n * Excessive waiting [seconds].\n * Timed-out requests [percentage].\n * Errored-out requests [percentage].\n\n\nImpact value \| Value of a metric measured.\nImpacted queries and error codes \| Query hash or error code. These can be used to easily correlate to affected queries. Metrics that consist of either query duration increase, waiting time, timeout counts, or error codes are provided.\nDetections \| Detection identified at the database during the time of an event. There are 15 detection patterns.

You also learn how they're implemented in the Wingtip Tickets SaaS database-per-tenant application. You create and initialize new tenant databases and register them in the application's tenant catalog. The catalog is a database that maintains the mapping between the SaaS application's many tenants and their data. The catalog plays an important role in directing application and management requests to the correct database.\nIn this tutorial, you learn how to:\n * Provision a single new tenant.\n * Provision a batch of additional tenants.\n\nTo complete this tutorial, make sure the following prerequisites are completed:\n * The Wingtip Tickets SaaS database-per-tenant app is deployed. To deploy it in less than five minutes, see [Deploy and explore the Wingtip Tickets SaaS database-per-tenant application](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-dbpertenant-get-started-deploy?view=azuresql>).\n * Azure PowerShell is installed. For more information, see [Get started with Azure PowerShell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/</en-us/powershell/azure/get-started-azureps>).\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#introduction-to-the-saas-catalog-pattern>)" } ]

In the SaaS catalog pattern, a catalog database is used to hold the mapping between each tenant and the database in which their data is stored. This pattern applies whenever tenant data is distributed across multiple databases.\nEach tenant is identified by a key in the catalog, which is mapped to the location of their database. In the Wingtip Tickets app, the key is formed from a hash of the tenant's name. This scheme allows the app to construct the key from the tenant name included in the application URL. Other tenant key schemes can be used.\nThe catalog allows the name or location of the database to be changed with minimal impact on the application. In a multitenant database model, this capability also accommodates moving a tenant between databases. The catalog also can be used to indicate whether a tenant or database is offline for maintenance or other actions. This capability is explored in the [Restore single tenant tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-dbpertenant-restore-single-tenant?view=azuresql>).\nThe catalog also can store additional tenant or database metadata, such as the schema version, service plan, or SLAs offered to tenants. The catalog can store other information that enables application management, customer support, or DevOps.\nBeyond the SaaS application, the catalog can enable database tools. In the Wingtip Tickets SaaS database-per-tenant sample, the catalog is used to enable cross-tenant query, which is explored in the [Ad hoc reporting tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-tenancy-cross-tenant-reporting?view=azuresql>). Cross-database job management is explored in the [Schema management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-tenancy-schema-management?view=azuresql>) and [Tenant analytics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-tenancy-tenant-analytics?view=azuresql>) tutorials.\nIn the Wingtip Tickets SaaS samples, the catalog is implemented by using the Shard Management features of the [Elastic Database client library (EDCL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/elastic-database-client-library?view=azuresql>). The EDCL is available in Java and the .NET Framework. The EDCL enables an application to create, manage, and use a database-backed shard map.\nA shard map contains a list of shards (databases) and the mapping between keys (tenants) and shards. EDCL functions are used during tenant provisioning to create the entries in the shard map. They're used at run time by applications to connect to the correct database. EDCL caches connection information to minimize traffic to the catalog database and speed up the application.\nImportant\nThe mapping data is accessible in the catalog database, but _don't edit it_. Edit mapping data by using Elastic Database Client Library APIs only. Directly manipulating the mapping data risks corrupting the catalog and isn't supported.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#introduction-to-the-saas-provisioning-pattern>)" } ]

The database must be created in the appropriate location and service tier. It also must be initialized with the appropriate schema and reference data. And it must be registered in the catalog under the appropriate tenant key.\nDifferent approaches to database provisioning can be used. You can execute SQL scripts, deploy a bacpac, or copy a template database.\nDatabase provisioning needs to be part of your schema management strategy. You must make sure that new databases are provisioned with the latest schema. This requirement is explored in the [Schema management tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-tenancy-schema-management?view=azuresql>).\nThe Wingtip Tickets database-per-tenant app provisions new tenants by copying a template database named _basetenantdb_ , which is deployed on the catalog server. Provisioning can be integrated into the application as part of a sign-up experience. It also can be supported offline by using scripts. This tutorial explores provisioning by using PowerShell.\nProvisioning scripts copy the _basetenantdb_ database to create a new tenant database in an elastic pool. The tenant database is created in the tenant server mapped to the _newtenant_ DNS alias. This alias maintains a reference to the server used to provision new tenants and is updated to point to a recovery tenant server in the disaster recovery tutorials ([DR using georestore](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-dbpertenant-dr-geo-restore?view=azuresql>), [DR using georeplication](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/saas-dbpertenant-dr-geo-replication?view=azuresql>)). The scripts then initialize the database with tenant-specific information and register it in the catalog shard map. Tenant databases are given names based on the tenant name. This naming scheme isn't a critical part of the pattern. The catalog maps the tenant key to the database name, so any naming convention can be used.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#get-the-wingtip-tickets-saas-database-per-tenant-application-scripts>)" } ]

To add a breakpoint, put your cursor anywhere on the line that says _New-Tenant `_. Then press F9.\n![Screenshot shows a script with New-Tenant highlighted for adding a breakpoint.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/media/saas-dbpertenant-provision-and-catalog/breakpoint.png?view=azuresql)\n 3. To run the script, press F5.\n 4. After the script execution stops at the breakpoint, press F11 to step into the code.\n![Debugging](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/media/saas-dbpertenant-provision-and-catalog/debug.png?view=azuresql)\n\nTrace the script's execution by using the Debug menu options. Press F10 and F11 to step over or into the called functions. For more information about debugging PowerShell scripts, see [Tips on working with and debugging PowerShell scripts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/</en-us/powershell/scripting/components/ise/how-to-debug-scripts-in-windows-powershell-ise>).\nYou don't need to explicitly follow this workflow. It explains how to debug the script.\n * Import the CatalogAndDatabaseManagement.psm1 module. It provides a catalog and tenant-level abstraction over the [Shard Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/elastic-scale-shard-map-management?view=azuresql>) functions. This module encapsulates much of the catalog pattern and is worth exploring.\n * Import the SubscriptionManagement.psm1 module. It contains functions for signing in to Azure and selecting the Azure subscription you want to work with.\n * Get configuration details. Step into Get-Configuration by using F11, and see how the app config is specified. Resource names and other app-specific values are defined here. Don't change these values until you are familiar with the scripts.\n * Get the catalog object. Step into Get-Catalog, which composes and returns a catalog object that's used in the higher-level script. This function uses Shard Management functions that are imported from AzureShardManagement.psm1. The catalog object is composed of the following elements:\n * $catalogServerFullyQualifiedName is constructed by using the standard stem plus your user name: _catalog- <user>.database.windows .net_.\n * $catalogDatabaseName is retrieved from the config: _tenantcatalog_.\n * $shardMapManager object is initialized from the catalog database.\n * $shardMap object is initialized from the _tenantcatalog_ shard map in the catalog database. A catalog object is composed and returned. It's used in the higher-level script.\n * Calculate the new tenant key. A hash function is used to create the tenant key from the tenant name.\n * Check if the tenant key already exists. The catalog is checked to make sure the key is available.\n * The tenant database is provisioned with New-TenantDatabase. Use F11 to step into how the database is provisioned by using an [Azure Resource Manager template](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/</en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/quickstart-create-templates-use-the-portal>).\nThe database name is constructed from the tenant name to make it clear which shard belongs to which tenant. You also can use other database naming conventions. A Resource Manager template creates a tenant database by copying a template database (_baseTenantDB_) on the catalog server. As an alternative, you can create a database and initialize it by importing a bacpac. Or you can execute an initialization script from a well-known location.\nThe Resource Manager template is in the …\\Learning Modules\\Common\\ folder: _tenantdatabasecopytemplate.json_\n * The tenant database is further initialized. The venue (tenant) name and the venue type are added. You also can do other initialization here.\n * The tenant database is registered in the catalog. It's registered with _Add-TenantDatabaseToCatalog_ by using the tenant key. Use F11 to step into the details:\n * The catalog database is added to the shard map (the list of known databases).\n * The mapping that links the key value to the shard is created.\n * Additional metadata about the tenant (the venue's name) is added to the Tenants table in the catalog. The Tenants table isn't part of the Shard Management schema, and it isn't installed by the EDCL. This table illustrates how the catalog database can be extended to support additional application-specific data.\n\nAfter provisioning completes, execution returns to the original _Demo-ProvisionAndCatalog_ script. The Events page opens for the new tenant in the browser.\n![Events page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/media/saas-dbpertenant-provision-and-catalog/new-tenant.png?view=azuresql)\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#provision-a-batch-of-tenants>)" } ]

Billing is for the elastic pool, not the databases. Idle databases consume no resources. By pre-provisioning databases in a pool and allocating them when needed, you can reduce the time to add tenants. The number of databases pre-provisioned can be adjusted as needed to keep a buffer suitable for the anticipated provisioning rate.\nAuto-provisioning : In the auto-provisioning pattern, a provisioning service provisions servers, pools, and databases automatically, as needed. If you want, you can include pre-provisioning databases in elastic pools. If databases are decommissioned and deleted, gaps in elastic pools can be filled by the provisioning service. Such a service can be simple or complex, such as handling provisioning across multiple geographies and setting up geo-replication for disaster recovery.\nWith the auto-provisioning pattern, a client application or script submits a provisioning request to a queue to be processed by the provisioning service. It then polls the service to determine completion. If pre-provisioning is used, requests are handled quickly. The service provisions a replacement database in the background.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/<#next-steps>)" } ]

The Next-gen General Purpose service tier is an architectural upgrade to the existing General Purpose service tier that can be used for new and existing instances.\nNote\nThe Next-gen General Purpose service tier upgrade is currently in preview.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#overview>)" } ]

Provide clear, accurate, and helpful responses based on official Azure documentation." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Can you explain Overview?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The Next-gen General Purpose service tier is an architectural upgrade of the existing General Purpose service tier that offers the following key characteristics:\n * Designed for businesses with higher performance requirements while offering the same baseline cost as the General Purpose service tier\n * Significant upgrades to performance, scalability, and resource flexibility over the General Purpose service tier\n * Uses managed disks instead of page blobs, which drastically improve storage performance metrics\n * 3 free IOPS for every GB of reserved storage\n * Support of up to 500 databases per instance, and a max storage size of 32 TB\n\nSince the Next-gen General Purpose service tier is an upgrade to the existing General Purpose service tier, regardless of which service tier your instance uses, your billing statement reflects the _General Purpose_ service tier.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#architectural-model>)\n#### Architectural model\nThe Next-gen General Purpose service tier is an upgrade to the existing General Purpose service tier that uses an upgraded remote storage layer to store instance data and log files on managed disks instead of page blobs. This means the Next-gen General Purpose service tier upgrade offers faster storage latency, IOPS, and throughput than the existing General Purpose service tier, with increased limits to storage, the number of vCores, and the max number of databases. Additionally, since the performance quotas are shared by the whole instance, you no longer have to resize individual files to improve their performance. The baseline cost of the Next-gen General Purpose service tier is the same as the General Purpose service tier, but you can use sliders to increase your IO performance, which is then billed separately.\nThe Next-gen General Purpose service tier helps reduce cost by offering free IOPS at three IOPS for every GB of reserved storage. The price of the storage includes the minimum IOPS. If you go above the minimum, you're charged as follows: 1 IOPS = storage price (by region) divided by three.\nFor example:\n * If 1 GB of storage costs 0.115, then 1 IOPS = 0.115/3 = 0.038 per IOPS.\n * A 1,024-GB instance receives 3072 IOPS for free. You can choose to increase your IOPS up to the [VM limit](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<https:/learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/resource-limits?view=azuresql#iops>) for an additional cost.\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#when-to-choose-this-service-tier>)\n#### When to choose this service tier\nChoose this service tier if your business is budget-oriented but the performance metrics and limits of the General Purpose service tier are insufficient.\nThe key reasons why you should choose the Next-gen General Purpose service tier instead of the General Purpose tier are:\n * Better performance for the same baseline cost\n * Improved latency, throughput, and IOPS\n * Greater storage capacity\n * More flexibility for your compute\n * You need over 100 databases for a single instance\n * You need more than 16 TB of reserved storage\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#upgrade-existing-instances>)" } ]

SQL Agent Jobs are an internal Database Engine component that is executed within the SQL Managed Instance service.\nThere are several key concepts in SQL Agent Jobs:\n * Job steps set of one or many steps that should be executed within the job. For every job step you can define retry strategy and the action that should happen if the job step succeeds or fails.\n * Schedules define when the job should be executed.\n * Notifications enable you to define rules that will be used to notify operators via email once the job completes.\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#job-steps>)" } ]

Assign the account to the email profile called `AzureManagedInstance_dbmail_profile`. To send e-mail using SQL Agent jobs in SQL Managed Instance, there should be a profile that must be called `AzureManagedInstance_dbmail_profile`. Otherwise, SQL Managed Instance will be unable to send emails via SQL Agent.\nNote\nFor the mail server, we recommend you use authenticated SMTP relay services to send email. These relay services typically connect through TCP ports 25 or 587 for connections over TLS, or port 465 for SSL connections, however Database Mail can be configured to use any port. These ports require a new outbound rule in your managed instance's network security group. These services are used to maintain IP and domain reputation to minimize the possibility that external domains reject your messages or put them to the SPAM folder. Consider an authenticated SMTP relay service already in your on-premises servers. In Azure, [SendGrid](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<https:/sendgrid.com/partners/azure/>) is one such SMTP relay service, but there are others.\nUse the following sample script to create a Database Mail account and profile, then associate them together:\nSQL Copy\n```\n-- Create a Database Mail account\nEXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_account_sp\n @account_name = 'SQL Agent Account',\n @description = 'Mail account for Azure SQL Managed Instance SQL Agent system.',\n @email_address = '$(loginEmail)',\n @display_name = 'SQL Agent Account',\n @mailserver_name = '$(mailserver)' ,\n @username = '$(loginEmail)' ,\n @password = '$(password)';\n-- Create a Database Mail profile\nEXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp\n @profile_name = 'AzureManagedInstance_dbmail_profile',\n @description = 'E-mail profile used for messages sent by Managed Instance SQL Agent.';\n-- Add the account to the profile\nEXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp\n @profile_name = 'AzureManagedInstance_dbmail_profile',\n @account_name = 'SQL Agent Account',\n @sequence_number = 1;\n\n```\n\nTest the Database Mail configuration via T-SQL using the [sp_send_db_mail](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/</en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-stored-procedures/sp-send-dbmail-transact-sql>) system stored procedure:\nSQL Copy\n```\nDECLARE @body VARCHAR(4000) = 'The email is sent from ' + @@SERVERNAME;\nEXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail\n @profile_name = 'AzureManagedInstance_dbmail_profile',\n @recipients = 'ADD YOUR EMAIL HERE',\n @body = 'Add some text',\n @subject = 'Azure SQL Instance - test email';\n\n```\n\nYou can notify the operator that something happened with your SQL Agent jobs. An operator defines contact information for an individual responsible for the maintenance of one or more instances in SQL Managed Instance. Sometimes, operator responsibilities are assigned to one individual.\nIn systems with multiple instances in SQL Managed Instance or SQL Server, many individuals can share operator responsibilities. An operator does not contain security information, and does not define a security principal. Ideally, an operator is not an individual whose responsibilities may change, but an email distribution group.\nYou can [create operators](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/</en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-stored-procedures/sp-add-operator-transact-sql>) using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or the Transact-SQL script shown in the following example:\nSQL Copy\n```\nEXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_operator\n @name=N'AzureSQLTeam',\n @enabled=1,\n @email_address=N'[email protected]';\n\n```\n\nConfirm the email's success or failure via the [Database Mail Log](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/</en-us/sql/relational-databases/database-mail/database-mail-log-and-audits>) in SSMS.\nYou can then [modify any SQL Agent job](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/</en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-stored-procedures/sp-update-job-transact-sql>) and assign operators that will be notified via email if the job completes, fails, or succeeds using SSMS or the following T-SQL script:\nSQL Copy\n```\nEXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_job @job_name=N'Load data using SSIS',\n @notify_level_email=3, -- Options are: 1 on succeed, 2 on failure, 3 on complete\n @notify_email_operator_name=N'AzureSQLTeam';\n\n```\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/<#job-history>)" } ]
