For simplicity, the term 'database' refers to both databases in Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics. Likewise, any references to 'server' is referring to the [logical SQL server](logical-servers.md) that hosts Azure SQL Database and dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) in Azure Synapse Analytics. This article does *not* apply to Azure SQL Managed Instance or dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics workspaces.
