You have an Azure SQL database that you access directly from the Internet.
You recently changed the public IP address of your computer.
After changing the IP address, you can no longer access the database. You can connect to other resources in Azure.
What is a possible cause of the issue?

The Azure SQL Database firewall lets you decide which IP addresses may or may not have access to either your Azure SQL Server or your Azure SQL database.
When creating an Azure SQL Database, the firewall needs to be configured before anyone will be able to access the database. By default, no external access to your SQL
Database will be allowed until you explicitly assign permission by creating a firewall rule.

When you access an Azure SQL database directly from the internet, you can configure a firewall to restrict access to specific IP addresses or ranges. This is done to protect the database from unauthorized access.
If you recently changed the public IP address of your computer, it's possible that the new IP address is not included in the allowed IP addresses or ranges configured in the database-level firewall. Therefore, the firewall is blocking your access to the database.
Option A, role-based access control (RBAC), is unlikely to be the cause of the issue since RBAC is a way to control access to Azure resources, not specific IP addresses.
Option B, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), is also unlikely to be the cause of the issue since DHCP is a way to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on a network. If you're accessing the database directly from the internet, you're likely using a static IP address, not a dynamically assigned one.
Option C, Domain Name Service (DNS), is also unlikely to be the cause of the issue. DNS is a way to translate domain names (such as www.example.com) into IP addresses. It's not directly related to accessing an Azure SQL database via IP address. However, it's possible that the DNS record for the database has changed, so you may need to update your connection string accordingly.
