Yes, SQL Server cloud databases typically support data synchronization between self-built (on-premises) databases and the cloud. This feature enables businesses to maintain data consistency across hybrid environments, allowing seamless integration of on-premises systems with cloud-based services.
For example, a company might use data synchronization to replicate transactional data from its on-premises SQL Server to a cloud-hosted SQL Server instance. This ensures that the cloud database stays up-to-date with real-time changes while allowing cloud-based applications to access the latest data.
In the context of Tencent Cloud, Tencent Cloud SQL Server supports data synchronization through services like Tencent Cloud Database Migration Service (DTS). DTS can help migrate and synchronize data between on-premises SQL Server and Tencent Cloud SQL Server, ensuring minimal downtime and data consistency. Additionally, Tencent Cloud TDSQL-C (a cloud-native database) also supports hybrid scenarios, enabling flexible data synchronization options.
This capability is crucial for businesses adopting a hybrid cloud strategy, where some workloads remain on-premises while others are moved to the cloud.
