Hi,

just noticed in the 5.2.1 change log the following:

Support for SQL Server databases on MS Azure which uses a transient error recovery strategy. Also support for encryption support in the connection string has been added to the SQL Server driver.

For years I've been using Adapter + SqlAzureRecoveryStrategy (set and forget).

Could you please clarify how this change log entry affects my use case and, if possible, in more details simple_smile

Thank you!

The change was for the designer, not the runtime simple_smile We made sure you can now use the designer on a SQL Server database on azure for database first scenarios. To do that we ported a transient error recovery strategy as we use in the runtime to the driver foundation code simple_smile

The changelog on the website lists the package/component the change is for as well, which states 'drivers' simple_smile So for the runtime and thus your code, nothing changes as the changes are in the drivers, the runtime already worked OK on azure and will keep on doing so.
