Azure SQL Database is designed to support what type of data?

Structured data
Semi-structured data
Unstructured data
None of the above

The correct answer is: Structured data

Azure SQL Database is specifically designed to support structured data. Structured data refers to information that is organized into a predefined format or schema, typically represented in tables with rows and columns. This organization allows for efficient querying and management of the data using SQL (Structured Query Language). With Azure SQL Database, users benefit from features such as transactions, security, and the ability to easily manage relationships between different data entities through foreign keys and constraints. This capability makes it particularly well-suited for applications that require reliable, consistent, and easily retrievable data formats, such as finance, inventory management, and customer relationship management systems. While Azure also offers services capable of handling semi-structured and unstructured data, those are not the primary focus of Azure SQL Database. Instead, services like Azure Cosmos DB or Azure Blob Storage are designed to manage those types of data effectively. This distinction reinforces why Azure SQL Database is oriented towards structured data management.
