Deploy a distributed SQL Server Always On Availability Group

In the previous article, An overview of distributed SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, we explored the concept of the distributed availability groups in SQL Server always on availability group. It is available from Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017.

In the previous article, An overview of distributed SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, we explored the concept of the distributed availability groups in SQL Server always on availability group. It is available from Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017.

In this article, we will configure the distributed availability group for the environment specified in the previous article.

Prerequisites

You should go through previous articles in this SQL Server Always On series and prepare the environment before proceeding with this article.

High-level steps for configuration of a distributed availability group

In the below flowchart, we can see the high-level steps of configuring the distributed availability group.

• We create a new SQL Server Always On Availability Group in the primary cluster and configure a listener to always point towards a primary replica
• We create another AG in the secondary cluster and configure a listener for this availability group
• We use automatic (direct) seeding to copy the data across replicas instead of taking database backup and restore it
• Create a distributed AG group in the primary cluster. This primary replica is also known as global primary in the distributed availability group
• Join the second cluster in the distributed availability group. The primary replica of the second cluster is also known as the forwarder
• Validate the configurations and ensure that availability groups are healthy

The main manifestation of SQL showed up in 1974, when a gathering in IBM built up the principal model of a social database.

This article gives an overview of SQL Server Always On Availability Group features. We configured the SQL Server Always On Availability Group from the beginning of building virtual machines.

SQL GROUP BY clause in SQL is used to arrange the same data into groups with the help of some functions. SQL GROUP BY is also used with aggregate functions.

This article will provide a review on how to configure Always On Availability groups in AWS EC2 instances and AWS FSx as file share witness.

Debug SQL stored procedures and develop your SQL database project with dbForge SQL Complete, a new add-in for Visual Studio and SSMS. When you develop large chunks of T-SQL code with the help of the SQL Server Management Studio tool, it is essential to test the “Live” behavior of your code by making sure that each small piece of code works fine and being able to allocate any error message that may cause a failure within that code.
