Create a Sql Azure Database with serverless tier using SDK - azure-sql-database

Question

Currently, I create databases and attach them to an SQL elastic pool:
database = await sqlServer.Databases.Define(mainDb.DbName).WithExistingElasticPool(pool.Name).CreateAsync();
Instead, I want to create databases with tier "General Purpose: Serverless, Gen5, 1 vCore", but I couldn't find any method that offers that possibility.
This feature is still in preview, I can't find anything on the forums on this. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

As an addendum to #Jim Xu accepted answer, the API has changed.
var database = sqlserver.Databases.Define("test").WithEdition("GeneralPurpose").WithServiceObjective("GP_S_Gen5_1").Create();
The WithEdition is now a DatabaseEdition edition type, and WithServiceObjective is now a ServiceObjectiveName. Both of these are muddled string enums with lists of version types. They do both also accept a .Parse() method. So the line should now be:
var database = sqlserver.Databases.Define("test")
.WithEdition(**Database.Edition.Parse("GeneralPurpose")**)
.WithServiceObjective(**ServiceObjectiveName.Parse("GP_S_Gen5_1")**)
.Create();

Answer 2

According to my test, we can use the following c# code to create "General Purpose: Serverless, Gen5, 1 vCore" database
var credentials = SdkContext.AzureCredentialsFactory.FromServicePrincipal(client,key,tenant,AzureEnvironment.AzureGlobalCloud);
var azure = Azure.Configure().Authenticate(credentials).WithSubscription(SubscriptionId);
var sqlserver=azure.SqlServers.GetById("/subscriptions/<your subscrption id>/resourceGroups/<your resource group name>/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/<your server name>");
var database = sqlserver.Databases.Define("test").WithEdition("GeneralPurpose").WithServiceObjective("GP_S_Gen5_1").Create();
Console.WriteLine(database.ServiceLevelObjective);
Console.WriteLine(database.Edition);
Console.WriteLine(database.Name);
Console.ReadLine();

Please reference this tutorial: Create a new elastic database pool with C#.
It provides the code example about Create a new database in a pool:
Create a DataBaseCreateorUpdateProperties instance, and set the properties of the new database. Then call the CreateOrUpdate method with the resource group, server name, and new database name.
// Create a database: configure create or update parameters and properties explicitly
DatabaseCreateOrUpdateParameters newPooledDatabaseParameters = new DatabaseCreateOrUpdateParameters()
{
Location = currentServer.Location,
Properties = new DatabaseCreateOrUpdateProperties()
{
Edition = "Standard",
RequestedServiceObjectiveName = "ElasticPool",
ElasticPoolName = "ElasticPool1",
MaxSizeBytes = 268435456000, // 250 GB,
Collation = "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
}
};
var poolDbResponse = sqlClient.Databases.CreateOrUpdate("resourcegroup-name", "server-name", "Database2", newPooledDatabaseParameters);
Please try to replace "standard" with the price tier "General Purpose: Serverless, Gen5, 1 vCore".
Hope this helps.
