 - 10,000 concurrent database migrations per service.
 - Migration speed heavily depends on the target Azure SQL Database SKU and the self-hosted Integration Runtime host.
 - Azure SQL Database migration scales poorly with table numbers due to ADF overhead in starting activities. If a database has thousands of tables, there will be a couple of seconds of startup time for each, even if they're composed of one row with 1 bit of data.
-- Azure SQL Database table names with double byte characters currently aren't supported for migration. Mitigation is to rename tables before migration; they can be changed back to their original names after successful migration.

 - Tables with large blob columns may fail to migrate due to timeout.
 - Database names with SQL Server reserved are currently not supported.
 - Database names that include semicolons are currently not supported.
