Azure SQL Edge is an relational database for IoT and IoT Edge Deployments based on the SQL Server database engine. Use this tag specifically for when asking questions when using Azure SQL Edge. Do not use this tag when asking about Azure Synapse, Azure SQL Database, or SQL Server.
Azure SQL Edge is a version of SQL Server designed with IoT in mind. It is able to be run on both ARM64 and x64 environments (unlike SQL Server, which only supports x64).
It is built on the latest versions of the SQL Server Database Engine, but is a much more scaled-back version. Many features are not supported on Azure SQL Edge such as CLR dependant functions/data types (such as FORMAT
and hierachyid
), Active Directory Integration, Linked Servers, and SQL Server Agent.
