Use Azure Portal Query Editor to Access Db1

B

Implement Authentication and Secure Data

To use the query editor on the Azure portal to query an Azure SQL database, you need to ensure that the necessary settings are configured correctly. The query editor is an Azure portal feature that allows you to execute SQL queries and scripts against your Azure SQL database.

Out of the given options, option C is not a correct approach as it is not related to the query editor on the Azure portal. ADO.NET is a technology used for data access, and copying the connection string of the database would not allow you to use the query editor.

Option A is also not a correct answer as the Advanced Data Security settings of Db1 are related to security and threat protection, and not related to the query editor functionality.

Option D is a possible approach to enable the query editor. Private endpoints enable secure access to Azure SQL servers and databases over a private IP address within an Azure virtual network (VNet). When you create a private endpoint for your Azure SQL server, it allows you to connect to the server from the VNet, and the connection is established using a private IP address. This approach ensures that the connection is secure and not exposed to the public internet.

However, the correct answer is option B, which is to configure the Firewalls and virtual networks settings for SQLserver1. When you create an Azure SQL server, by default, it does not allow access from any IP address. Therefore, you need to configure the firewall rules for your Azure SQL server to allow access from specific IP addresses. To enable access to the query editor, you need to add a firewall rule that allows the IP address of the computer or device that you are using to access the Azure portal.

Additionally, you need to ensure that the virtual network configuration for the SQL server is set up correctly. If your Azure SQL server is in a virtual network, you need to ensure that the virtual network is configured correctly to allow traffic to and from the SQL server. You can also configure the firewall rules to allow traffic from specific virtual networks.

In summary, to use the query editor on the Azure portal to query an Azure SQL database, you need to configure the firewall and virtual network settings for the SQL server correctly, and ensure that the virtual network is set up correctly.
