Research direction

Locate the Lab 8 instructions and review the database setup at the start and the “Test locally” task, especially Option B for SQL authentication. Update the lab so Azure SQL Database creation is covered and the tested connection-string example is used; done means both instruction paths are clear and consistent with the Skillable environment.

Description

Lab 8- Integrate SQL solutions with Azure services
Issue 1- Lab start with Database creation by connecting Azure SQL database to SSMS/VS Code/SQL server.
But there is now step to create the SQL DB in Azure like other labs.
May me due to that there is no Azure subscription in Skillable platform.
Please add Azure SQL Database createtion task at the start.

Issue 2 - Under task- Test locally
Option B: SQL authentication
Shell | Command
PowerShell | $env:DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING="Server=your-server.database.windows.net;Database=ProductCatalog;User Id=your-user;Password=your-password;TrustServerCertificate=true"

This gives error - else use the "connection string" as below- tested and worked well

PowerShell | $env:DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING="Server=tcp:.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=;Password={your_password};MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;"
