What is Managed SQL?

Managed SQL refers to a database service where the underlying infrastructure, including hardware and software maintenance, patching, backups, and high availability, is managed by a cloud provider or third-party vendor. This allows users to focus on database design, querying, and application development rather than operational tasks. Common uses include supporting transactional applications, data warehousing, and business intelligence solutions, with benefits such as reduced administrative overhead, scalability, and cost savings.
