Action required: Upgrade Azure SQL Database 2014-04-01 APIs to a newer version by 31 October 2025

Andrew Duffy 20

Hi,

How do I know if I'm using 2014-04-01 API's? The email I received says we are.... but how do I know what exactly within my Azure subscription is using the older API's so I can correct?

We don't explicitly use the Azure SQL rest API's so I'm confused?

Hi@ Andrew Duffy,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Microsoft sent an alert email to all the customers who registered for Microsoft.SQL. you can open Azure portal -> Subscriptions -> Resource Providers, and search for "Microsoft.Sql", if this is registered, you will receive the notification. If there is no SQL resource created in the subscription, you can ignore the notification email or unregister the resource provider to avoid confusion.

You can check in the Azure subscriptions whether you are using Azure SQL Database 2014-04-01 APIs or any other SQL resource.

For your better understanding here is the reference document: Azure SQL Database REST API 2014-04-01 Retirement Notice.

I hope this information helps, please do let us know if you have any Queries..

Basically within your subscription you might have written some custom applications or codes wherein you might be leveraging some Azure SQL database REST APIs. So To determine if you are using the 2014-04-01 Azure SQL Database REST API, you can review your application code or API calls to see which version is specified.

Hi @Andrew Duffy ,

The alert is on the azure advisory refers to an update that is being done on the APIs from azure.

The retirement notice is specifically about the API version used for managing and interacting with Azure SQL Database resources programmatically.

If you are currently using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to manage Azure SQL Database, you need not to take any action.

Let us know if you need any additional information.

Thank You!
