Az AQL Database 20140-04-01 APIs will be retired on 31 Oct 2025

I received an email about this in August. I have one such SQL DB and SQL Server pair in a resource group called Default-SQL-EastUS. The email says I need to update my resources, i.e. upgrade any Azure SQL Database resources that use 2014-04-01 APIs to a newer stable version….

How do I do such an upgrade? Is there a document? And what is this SQL resource used for. I do not use it directly. Is it something that is present on each Azure account. My Azure account comes with my Visual Studio Professional subscription.

Thanks,

George
