Microsoft Azure SQL Database Vs SQL Server Databases

Hi All

I have listed out some of the differences between azure SQL Database and SQL server Databases.
you need to select any one of the 2 based on the features you want in your project , in our project we are handling with PII data where we need Transparent Data encryption which is not available in Azure SQL Database so we went for SQL server databases .
