Storage Emulator

Error

Cannot create database ‘AzureStorageEmulatorDb510’ : The database ‘AzureStorageEmulatorDb510’ does not exist.

The fix

Dev tools are changing all the time. Although, there is a claimed “permanent” solution by reinstalling. I am happy with a quick manual fix by manually creating the localdb database ;-)

SQL Server Developer Edition vs SQL Server Express Edition

There are many answers you can find on the Interweb. Here is my take.

SQL Server Developer Edition

• It is a server grade SQL server database
• It has all the enterprise SQL server features, e.g. data analytics
• User case: It is a full blow SQL server for software development purpose
• The offline installation file is 1.2 GB

Server Express Edition

• It is a desktop grade SQL server database
• User case: it is a tool rather than a backend SQL server database
• The offline installation file is 50 MB in size
