Single database vCore resource limits - Azure SQL Database
Applies to: Azure SQL Database
This article provides the detailed resource limits for single databases in Azure SQL Database using the vCore purchasing model.
Important
Shrink operations should not be considered a regular maintenance operation. Data and log files that grow due to regular, recurring business operations do not require shrink operations.
Each read-only replica of a database has its own resources, such as vCores, memory, data IOPS, tempdb
, workers, and sessions. Each read-only replica is subject to the resource limits detailed later in this article.
You can set the service tier, compute size (service objective), and storage amount for a single database using:
Note
The Gen5 hardware in the vCore purchasing model has been renamed to standard-series (Gen5).
General Purpose - serverless compute - standard-series (Gen5)
The serverless compute tier is currently available on standard-series (Gen5) hardware only.
General Purpose - serverless compute - standard-series (Gen5) (part 1 of 3)
Compute sizes (service level objectives, or SLOs) for General Purpose serverless standard-series databases follow the naming convention GP_S_Gen5_
followed by the number of max vCores.
The following table covers these SLOs: GP_S_Gen5_1

1 Service objectives with smaller max vCore configurations can have insufficient memory for creating and using columnstore indexes. If encountering performance problems with columnstore, increase the max vCore configuration to increase the max memory available.
2 For documented max data size values. Reducing max data size reduces max log size proportionally.
3 The maximum value for IO sizes ranging between 8 KB and 64 KB. Actual IOPS are workload-dependent. For details, see Data IO Governance.

Hyperscale - provisioned compute - premium-series
Although the published Hyperscale resource limits for standard-series and premium-series are the same, premium-series offers faster CPU performance compared to standard-series, and scales up to 128 vCores, compared to 80 vCores for standard-series. Resources using premium-series are guaranteed to run on hardware with newer CPUs. Standard-series does not provide this guarantee and, depending on availability, resources can be placed on older hardware. There is no price difference between the two, but premium-series might not be available in all regions.
Hyperscale premium-series (part 1 of 3)
Compute sizes (service level objectives, or SLOs) for Hyperscale premium-series databases follow the naming convention HS_PRMS_
