This article describes how to scale the compute and storage resources available for an Azure SQL Database in the provisioned compute tier. Alternatively, the [serverless compute tier](sql-database-serverless.md) provides compute auto-scaling and bills per second for compute used.

## Change compute size (vCores or DTUs)
20-
2119
After initially picking the number of vCores or DTUs, you can scale a single database up or down dynamically based on actual experience using the [Azure portal](sql-database-single-databases-manage.md#manage-an-existing-sql-database-server), [Transact-SQL](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/t-sql/statements/alter-database-transact-sql?view=azuresqldb-current#examples-1), [PowerShell](/powershell/module/az.sql/set-azsqldatabase), the [Azure CLI](/cli/azure/sql/db#az-sql-db-update), or the [REST API](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/sql/databases/update).

## Additional considerations
8886

8987
- If you are upgrading to a higher service tier or compute size, the database max size does not increase unless you explicitly specify a larger size (maxsize).
9088
- To downgrade a database, the database used space must be smaller than the maximum allowed size of the target service tier and compute size.

- The restore service offerings are different for the various service tiers. If you are downgrading to the **Basic** tier, there is a lower backup retention period. See [Azure SQL Database Backups](sql-database-automated-backups.md).
9593
- The new properties for the database are not applied until the changes are complete.

### Billing during compute rescaling
95+
## Billing
9896

9997
You are billed for each hour a database exists using the highest service tier + compute size that applied during that hour, regardless of usage or whether the database was active for less than an hour. For example, if you create a single database and delete it five minutes later your bill reflects a charge for one database hour.
