I have subscribed to an Azure SQL database Basic plan with 5 DTUs. It says Data max size 2GB. Currently, I am using only 26MB. Although my usage is unlikely to hit 2GB in the foreseeable future, I would like to know what happens if it really hits 2GB? Will Azure SQL just freeze, or will it expand the storage and charge accordingly?
Hi,
Yes, when needed you can switch to Standard S0 SKU which includes 10 DTUs and 250GB. You can do this in the portal by navigating to your database -- Settings -- Compute + storage blade, changing the service tier to Standard and setting max data size.

Thanks.

When changing plans, is there a need for the subscriber to move the data to a new server?
