sys.database_service_objectives (Azure SQL Database)

Applies to: Azure SQL Database Azure Synapse Analytics

Returns the edition (service tier), service objective (pricing tier), and elastic pool name, if any, for an Azure SQL database or a dedicated SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

• If logged on to the master database in an Azure SQL Database server, returns information on all databases.
• For dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics, you must be connected to the master database. This applies to both dedicated SQL pools in Azure Synapse workspaces and dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW).
