Terms in this definition
- Azure Policy
Azure service that audits and enforces how resources are configured, for example their location, SKU or tags, using definitions and assignments. It neither deploys resources nor controls access.
- WHERE
Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.
