What is azuresql-db-faq?

Answers questions about what Azure SQL Developer (Private Preview) can and cannot do, and WHY it differs from Azure SQL Database in the Microsoft Azure cloud. Use when a user asks "can I take a backup", "why does USE fail", "is X supported", "why can't I create a vector index", "why does SSMS error", "why isn't the image on Docker Hub", "what's different from the cloud", or hits behavior that does not match their Azure SQL Database expectations.
