我们是否必须在 SQL 服务器托管实例连接字符串中使用故障转移组服务器名称或主服务器名称

Question

We have configured a failover group for our SQL Server Managed Instance in Azure portal:

• Primary Managed Instance : myprod01.asbcdef.database.windows.net

• Failover Group Name : failover-myprod01.asbcdef.database.windows.net

My current connection string(uses Primary server name):

server=tcp:myprod01.asbcdef.database.windows.net,1433;
    Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Mydatabase;User Id=user;
    Password=pwd;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;
    TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;

Which server name should I have to use in connection string to make sure failover will happen in case of any issues, is it primary server or failover group name?

Answer 1

We should connect to the failover group name. So that if Primary server down, it will auto migrate to the Secondary server. Our application will run uninterrupted.
