Important

The recommended REST commands to work with SQL Database are the Resource Manager based Azure SQL Database REST API. While there is no change to SQL Database, be aware that the classic deployment model command in this article is scheduled for deprecation on December 1, 2019. For a table providing links to the specific new commands you should use, see Operations for Azure SQL Databases.

</ServiceResource>

The following table describes the elements of the response body:

Name	The name of the database to retrieve.
Type	The type of the resource. A database will be Microsoft.SqlAzure.Database.
State	The state of the service resource.
SelfLink	The URI for this service resource.
ParentLink	The URI for the parent service resource.
Id	The database ID. Each database in a server has a unique ID.
Edition	The current edition of the database. If the edition was changed during an update, this will be the old value until any pending Service Level Objective (SLO) assignments are completed. For edition changes that don’t require a SLO change, this will be the new edition.
MaxSizeGB	The maximum size of the database in gigabytes.
CollationName	The name of the database collation.
CreationDate	The date and time this database was created.
IsFederationRoot	Specifies if this database is the federation root.
IsSystemObject	Specifies if this database is a system object. Master database is an example of a system object.
SizeMb	The currently used size of the database in megabytes.
MaxSizeBytes	The maximum size of the database expressed in bytes.
ServiceObjectiveId	The currently assigned and active service objective ID. If a SLO change is in progress or pending, this will be the SLO before the update was applied. To know which GUID to use in ServiceObjectiveId, see List Service Level Objectives (classic) find the ID of the service that you want, and locate the GUID for that service.
AssignedServiceObjectiveId	The currently assigned service objective ID. If a SLO change is in progress or pending this will be the new SLO that is assigned to the database.
ServiceObjectiveAssignmentState	An integer representing the current state of the service objective assignment operation. 1 is complete and 0 is pending.
ServiceObjectiveAssignementStateDescription	The current state of the service objective assignment. Pending means the database is currently transitioning from one Service Objective to another. Complete means that the service objective assignment completed successfully.
ServiceObjectiveAssignmentErrorCode	If there was an error assigning the service objective to the database, this will contain the error code.
ServiceObjectiveAssignmentErrorDescription	The description for the error, if there was an error.
ServiceObjectiveAssignmentSuccessDate	The date and time that the service objective was successfully applied to the database.
RecoveryPeriodStartDate	The starting date for when database recovery is available.
