In this challenge, you will configure an Azure SQL database to use an index to improve performance. First, you will access a pre-existing Azure SQL database, and then you will run a query to stress test the database. Next, you will configure an index to improve the performance of the query. Finally, you will run the stress test query again, and then you will verify that the performance improved. Note: Once you begin the challenge, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge.
