In recent years, developers pushed for relational databases to be more flexible and open to the many different formats (e.g., JSON, graph, and spatial) to store and manipulate data. Davide Mauri joins Lara Rubbelke to show how Azure SQL Database enables you to take advantage of the rock-solid foundation of relational databases with the flexibility offered by non-relational models. And best of all, it's seamlessly integrated to empower you to choose the best technology for the job.
