## Basic Information
[From the docs:](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/azure-sql-iaas-vs-paas-what-is-overview) Azure SQL is a family of managed, secure, and intelligent products that use the **SQL Server database engine in the Azure cloud**. This means you don't have to worry about the physical administration of your servers, and you can focus on managing your data.
Azure SQL consists of three main offerings:
1. **Azure SQL Database**: This is a **fully-managed database service**, which allows you to host individual databases in the Azure cloud. It offers built-in intelligence that learns your unique database patterns and provides customized recommendations and automatic tuning.
2. **Azure SQL Managed Instance**: This is for larger scale, entire SQL Server instance-scoped deployments. It provides near 100% compatibility with the latest SQL Server on-premises (Enterprise Edition) Database Engine, which provides a native virtual network (VNet) implementation that addresses common security concerns, and a business model favorable for on-premises SQL Server customers.
3. **Azure SQL Server on Azure VMs**: This is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and is best for migrations where you want **control over the operating system and SQL Server instance**, like it was a server running on-premises.
## Enumeration
```bash
az sql server list
az sql server show --resource-group --name
az sql db list --server --resource-group
az sql mi list
az sql mi show --resource-group --name
az sql midb list
az sql midb show --resource-group --name
az sql vm list
az sql vm show --resource-group --name
```
### Connect and run SQL queries
You could find a connection string (containing credentials) from example [enumerating an Az WebApp](az-azure-app-service.md):
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```powershell
function invoke-sql{
param($query)
$Connection_string = "Server=tcp:supercorp.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=flag;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=db_read;Password=gAegH!324fAG!#1fht;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;"
$Connection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $Connection_string
$Connection.Open()
$Command = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$Command.Connection = $Connection
$Command.CommandText = $query
$Reader = $Command.ExecuteReader()
while ($Reader.Read()) {
$Reader.GetValue(0)
}
$Connection.Close()
}
invoke-sql 'Select Distinct TABLE_NAME From information_schema.TABLES;'
```
{% endcode %}
