Question

I am learning azure from Microsoft learn using this link. Does anyone know the basic difference between "Azure Database for MySQL" and "Azure SQL Database"? Both seem very similar.

As I am a beginner, can anyone explain the difference in an easy way?

Answer 1

Add to @CoderRambo's answer. The difference between Azure Database for MySQL and Azure SQL Database is as follows:

1. Azure Database for MySQL is powered by the MySQL community edition. We can choose versions 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0.
2. Azure SQL Database is SQL Server database engine, based on the latest stable Enterprise Edition of SQL Server.

The only similarity is: they are all hosted in the Microsoft cloud and fall into the industry category of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). So your question is mysql vs sql server.
