How to Resume Azure SQL Serverless Database Manually?

Problem

It was a horrible experience with a busy day. Suddenly the Developer Database, presumably Azure SQL Serverless Database went off. In another word, it was in Auto-pause mode.  When I search through the internet, I couldn't find any reliable method of turn it back to accessible or resume mode. According to the documentation, If I login to the database then it should be turned it back, but it is not the case. I tried with both Management Studio and Azure Data Studio those options were not in my favor.



Solution

Unfortunately, the solution is pending. Unless you have to trigger manually by doing one of the tasks was in the list I've referenced above. I found that this feature is started to develop, according to the Microsoft Azure forum. But, that is not helpful to get sorted my issue today.

Workaround 

Maybe if you are an Application developer you might not get this issue. Perhaps if you invoke some function which hit to the database, this problem will get sort much faster. But, I'm a BI consultant who are working on application development less frequently. So, I tried to connect to the database via Microsoft Power BI desktop, which you can download for free. Which is the best use case scenario when it comes to Business Intelligence. Surprisingly it worked perfectly. The Azure SQL Serverless database turned back to Online. This is not a solution, at least a workaround till they bring this feature to Live..

There are around 26,000 people were died due to the virus and 580,000 confirmed cases at the moment I update this blog post. Though, the fatality rate is lower when compared to other viruses in similar strains like MERS and SARS . However, the biggest challenge most of the countries facing right now is to accommodate the patients with the growing numbers at every minute. The public was asked by the government to avoid nonessential gatherings as much as possible to stop spreading this deadly virus. Even though there were not many cases found in Sri Lanka, from March first week, they found the initial case a patient who works as a tourist. Now the situation is turning to worst after they found many cases especially tourists who are born Sri Lankans came down from Italy and European countries....
