How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect via SQL Server authentication or Azure Active Directory. Provide server endpoint, database name, and credentials with read permissions for monitoring or write permissions for optimization actions. Connection validates schema access and query execution rights.

2

Ask

Ask questions like 'Which tables have grown most in the last week' or 'Show me slow-running queries consuming over 10 seconds' or 'What indexes are missing on high-traffic tables'.

3

Act

The agent creates indexes on frequently queried columns, archives old partition data, updates table statistics for query optimization, kills long-running queries blocking resources, and adjusts database scaling tiers based on load patterns.

Use Cases

What teams ask their AI agent about Azure SQL

Real prompts from enterprise marketing teams. The agent reads your data, answers in seconds, and takes action when you ask.

AI Agent Access

Your agent joins Azure SQL tables with every marketing campaign

Read

Reads table schemas, row counts, storage sizes, index configurations, query execution plans, performance metrics, connection pool stats, replication lag, backup status, and partition metadata across all databases in your Azure SQL instance.

Write

Writes by creating and dropping indexes, updating statistics, archiving partitions, killing blocking queries, adjusting compute tiers, configuring auto-scaling rules, setting up query store parameters, and modifying connection timeout settings.

Monitor

Monitors query execution times exceeding thresholds, storage capacity approaching limits, connection pool exhaustion, replication delays, index fragmentation levels, blocking query chains, failed backup jobs, and CPU utilization spikes during peak hours.

The AI agent queries customer transaction history, product sales, and database KPIs, then correlates them with Google Ads spend and campaign performance. It can calculate true customer lifetime value by acquisition channel, identify which campaigns drive repeat purchases, and explain revenue changes by matching database records with ad exposure. Ask it to find high-value customer segments and their acquisition costs.

What Azure SQL data can Improvado extract?
Improvado extracts tables, views, stored procedures, and custom SQL queries from your Azure SQL Database. We support all standard data types including VARCHAR, INT, DATETIME, and JSON fields. Complex joins and aggregations are handled during the extraction process.
How often does Azure SQL data refresh in Improvado?
Data refresh intervals range from 15 minutes to 24 hours depending on your plan and requirements. Most customers set hourly or daily refreshes for transactional data. Real-time streaming is available for enterprise customers with high-volume databases.
Can Improvado handle large Azure SQL databases?
Yes, Improvado processes databases with millions of records through incremental loading and parallel processing. We extract only new or updated records after the initial full sync. Large table extractions are optimized to minimize impact on your database performance.
Which destinations work with Azure SQL data?
Azure SQL data loads into BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and other cloud warehouses. Business intelligence tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker connect directly to your normalized datasets. The data maintains referential integrity across all destination platforms.
Does Improvado transform Azure SQL data during extraction?
Improvado applies data transformations including column mapping, data type conversion, and schema standardization. Custom business logic and calculated fields can be added during the ETL process. All transformations follow our Marketing Common Data Model for consistency with other data sources.
