Is it possible to call REST Api (Azure Application Insights Api) from Azure Serverless Database Stored Procedures?
It seems, SQL CLR is not available for Azure Serverless Sql Database. Any other options?
According to the official document, CLR Stored Procedures are supported only on SQL Database Managed Instances.
At this moment, there's no integration between SQL Database and Event Grid, so your only option is to perform the http request right after the commit operation in your SQL.

Is it possible for me to insert some data from one database to another in Azure sql?
Let's say I have a trigger in db1 that updates some values in db2.
I read about elastic queries but it seems like they are read-only so they don't solve my problem.
You can't use cross-database in Azure Sql Server because databases can't see eachother physically , you could use elastic pools but they are Read Only.
A solution is to use SQL Managed Instance to upload your instance . This supports cross-database queries but it was expensive.
There was some previous discussion here about doing similar:
C# Azure Function trigger when SQL Database has a new row added without polling
There is also the Azure SQL Bindings for Azure Functions but they are input bindings and not triggers and they're still in preview and limited to C#, JavaScript and Python.

There was a new announcement last week after MS Build however for Azure SQL Database External REST Endpoints Integration (hopefully they don't refer to it as ASDEREI) but this is currently in preview under Early Adoption Program (EAP).

I'm using this very useful SQLCLR script to make a REST call to an API and save the data on SQL Server on the fly.
I have created a stored procedure that withdraws new data every hour so my data are always updated.
I would like to have all this on Azure so I can then create a Power BI data visualization.
THE PROBLEM:
As soon as I try to transfer the database on Azure I receive this error:

This happens because Azure SQL has some feature stripped off like SQLCLR or SQL Server Agent (for some obvious security reason).
Is there any alternative to SQLCLR on Azure?
Is there any alternative to SQL Server Agent on Azure?
Basically: how to automate a REST call to an API every hour and save the result to SQL Server on Azure?
I do not think there is a straight forward replacement for SQL CLR. However, there are some Azure offerings that might be interesting.
I suppose an alternative is using a scheduled azure function that calls the API and store the result in the Azure SQL Database.
Do mind that if the process takes longer than 10 minutes you cannot use a consumption plan for the Azure Function, which is the most cost effective probably.
Depending on the scenario, Azure Data Factory can also provide a solution. You can create a pipeline that calls the API and copies the data to Sql Server as outlined here, based on a schedule trigger.
Even though Azure Functions is great, you could even solve this without much code using Azure Logic Apps, a scheduled trigger, the http request and the mssql connector.

I am new to Azure Cosmos DB. I have created Azure Cosmos DB with SQL API and loaded the data and used SQL Queries. Now I want to access the Mongo API of the same DB. Is it possible?
Upon online search, I found confusing answers.
Connecting The Same Cosmos DB Database Using SQL API And Mongo API From A Blazor App
The extensible APIs that you can use include .NET, .NET Core, Node.js, Java, Python, and MongoDB. If you’re using .NET, you can use DocumentDB API, MongoDB API, Graph API, or Table API. Java and Node.js will only work with the Document DB APIs, MongoDB APIs, and Graph APIs. Python will only work with the DocumentDB API, and Gremlin, only the Graph API.
I understand that the same DB can be accessed with SQL API and Mongo API, as long as I use .NET
Am I right?
If yes, please let me know the procedure.
I understand that the same DB can be accessed with SQL API and Mongo
API, as long as I use .NET
Am I right?
No. While it might be technically possible, it is not supported to use multiple APIs. You have to stick to the one that you chose when creating the database.
The only exception is Gremlin and SQL API.

I am using Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to move patient resource data from MsSQL to Azure cosmos DB of FHIR server. I have installed the FHIR server using the below github link.
https://github.com/Microsoft/fhir-server/blob/master/docs/DefaultDeployment.md
I am able to move MsSQL server data inside FHIR cosmos db server but data format is not matching with FHIR server apps.
Example :- I have patient data with sql server side and we want to move all data with FHIR cosmos db ("resource type ":"Patient")and query on it. FHIR sever apps/services is not able to map with MsSQL server data.
Are there any Azure functions that can be run so that the bulk
ingestion of data into the FHIR server ?(Posting data with Postman is one way which is not feasible for bulk data)
Thanks in Advance.
#Vinayaka you are on a right track with Azure function.
In a nutshell, it is a simple post/put requests of FHIR resources from MS SQL into FHIR Server endpoints.
One approach could be a simple Azure function or a console app, that loops through FHIR json resources and post them in async way.
My humble advice: bump up capacity/throughput of FHIR server before running your ingestion process/load, and downgrade it as needed once ingestion of FHIR resources is completed.
You could also reuse Microsoft FhirImporter function for your case.
You could build a Data Factory pipeline to load the data to CosmosDB in the correct format. You may need to do some transformation to get the data into the format that FHIR expects.
I am developing a Saas based application which has hybrid DB architecture (Azure SQL Server and Azure Cosmos DB).
To manage SQL Server Tables, Stored procedures, triggers and functions we will create a SQLDB project (.sqlproj). Also we can generate .dacpac and deploy in the sql server.
As like SQL, we will have collections, stored procedures, triggers and functions in Azure CosmosDB.
How to manage CosmosDB collection, procedure, trigger? Is there any project templete available to manage? Suggest a solution to proceed.
Based on my experience with CosmosDb, I believe there is nothing sort of project templates available for CosmosDb. Because it is not as easy as SQL Db project.
I suggest you will have to store them as json files in local solution version control and version them accordingly.
You could write necessary programming logic to execute these scripts/cosmos DB logic using SQL API for .NET or another platform. This way you are controlling the collections, udf, triggers etc from your code, and you can version your code accordingly.
More references here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/programming
Azure CosmosDBs can be managed through ARM templates. You can use these to version your databases/collections/etc. See Microsoft.DocumentDB resource types documentation.
