In this article, we will discuss how to restart a MySQL server on Azure using PowerShell. Restarting a server is a common task in server administration, and it is important to know how to do it efficiently and effectively. We will adapt the instructions to the Windows environment, providing examples and commands that are applicable to this operating system.

Examples:

1. Checking the status of the MySQL server:
To check the status of the MySQL server, open a PowerShell window and run the following command:

   Get-AzSqlServer -ResourceGroupName <resource-group-name> -ServerName <server-name> | Get-AzSqlDatabase

This command will retrieve the status of the MySQL server and all the associated databases.

2. Restarting the MySQL server:
To restart the MySQL server, you can use the following PowerShell command:

   Restart-AzSqlServer -ResourceGroupName <resource-group-name> -ServerName <server-name>

This command will initiate a restart of the MySQL server on Azure.

3. Verifying the server restart:
After executing the restart command, you can check the status of the server again to ensure that it has been restarted successfully. Use the same command as in Example 1 to retrieve the server status.
