Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The OrdersDB database's service objective is updated to S2.
The 'az sql db update' command updates an existing database's service objective to S2. This immediate effect changes the performance level of the OrdersDB database. Option A is incorrect because the command targets the database, not the server. Option C is incorrect because the command does not specify scaling direction; it simply sets the service objective, which could be an upgrade or downgrade depending on the current setting. Option D is incorrect because the update command does not create a new database; it modifies the existing one.
