Use when a user asks "can I take a backup", "why does USE fail", "is X supported", "why can't I create a vector index", "why does SSMS error", "why isn't the image on Docker Hub", "what's different from the cloud", or hits behavior that does not match their Azure SQL Database expectations. Do NOT guess from general SQL Server / Azure knowledge: the container is a Private Preview product with specific gaps and a specific connection model.
