Summary
In this chapter, we reviewed the core data concepts about data storage and processing, the different data types, and data solutions. We went through the explanation of relational, non-relatable, transactional, and analytical data, their particularities, and application cases.
Now you know how to differentiate a transactional database from an application and an analytical database. In the following chapters, we will go into the details of each of these workloads and of the Azure services that are implemented for this. But before we detail these structures, in the next chapter, we will understand the different roles and responsibilities in a data domain.
