New-AzureSqlDatabase
Creates an Azure SQL Database.
Note
The cmdlets referenced in this documentation are for managing legacy Azure resources that use Azure Service Manager (ASM) APIs. This legacy PowerShell module isn't recommended when creating new resources since ASM is scheduled for retirement. For more information, see Azure Service Manager retirement.
The Az PowerShell module is the recommended PowerShell module for managing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources with PowerShell.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-AzureSqlDatabase cmdlet creates an Azure SQL Database. You can specify the server by using an Azure SQL Database server connection context that you create using the New-AzureSqlDatabaseServerContext cmdlet. Or, if you specify the server name, the cmdlet uses the current Azure subscription information to authenticate the request to access the server.
When you create a new database by specifying an Azure SQL Database server, the New-AzureSqlDatabase cmdlet creates a temporary connection context using the specified server name and the current Azure subscription information to perform the operation.
Examples
Example 1: Create a database
PS C:\> $Database01 = New-AzureSqlDatabase -ConnectionContext $Context -DatabaseName "Database01" -Edition "Business" -MaxSizeGB 50 -Collation "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"This command creates an Azure SQL Database named Database1, for the Azure SQL Database server connection context $Context.
Example 2: Create a database in the current subscription
PS C:\> $Database01 = New-AzureSqlDatabase -ServerName "lpqd0zbr8y" -DatabaseName "Database01" -Edition "Business" -MaxSizeGB 50 -Collation "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"This example creates a database named Database1, in the specified Azure SQL Database server named lpqd0zbr8y. The cmdlet uses the current Azure subscription information to authenticate the request to access the server.
