Is it possible to change Azure Elastic Pool server version

I created a new instance of SQL elastic pool server, the displayed version of sql server is 12.0.2000.8. Is it possible to upgrade it to 13.x ?
Azure SQL Databases always run on latest stable version of the SQL Server database engine.(Refer to link for more details).
You can run below queries to check the same after creating the database:
select ##version as version;
select serverproperty('ProductVersion') as [version],serverproperty('Edition') as [edition];
SELECT name, compatibility_level FROM sys.databases;
You can find the version using the SQL query but that will always show you v12.x.x.x.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

How to specify database for SQL Server catalog in Presto?

I specified following catalog for SQL Server
connector.name=sqlserver
connection-url=jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.1
connection-user=build_agent
connection-password=build_agent
When I try running queries against it, it seems that I can access master database only. How can I specify specific database?
From Trino (formerly Presto SQL) SQL Server connector documentation (https://trino.io/docs/current/connector/sqlserver.html):
connection-url=jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;database=<database>

Azure SQL Server restore using .bak file

I have created a SQL Server in Azure and have downloaded the Azure Data Studio. I have a SQL Server database backup file (.bak) and connected to the sever that I created from Azure Data Studio and I am not seeing an option to restore the database.
I just have the back up file available and don't have any on perm database available and I want to directly restore the database to the Azure SQL Server.
Azure SQL database currently does not support this feature. The only way to restore a SQL database in Azure is to import from a BACPAC file as #Larnu said. You can follow this guide to use a BACPAC file to migrate to an Azure SQL database.
Another option:
If you get an account to connect to the local server.You can use SQL Management Studio to migrate it directly to Azure.
You can use the Azure Data Migration Assistant to perform an assessment and migrate to Azure SQL from a local database.
While both replies before mine are correct I want to add something.
You have 3 ways to migrate with a right click:
SSMS: Task > Deploy Database to SQL Azure , which will create a BACPAK file, not a .bak file.
DMA: Assess and migrate
Azure Data Studio: I discovered in this video at minute 00:35 that you can actually use Azure Data Studio with some preview functionality that will help you migrate. I haven't found any plugin and in the video there is a Microsoft e-mail so I asked to try the preview. I don't expect to be better than DMA which is the go-to tool for migration.
EDIT: I sent an e-mail to Microsoft which replied to me
"Hi Francesco,
Thanks for reaching out. We are currently in private preview in East US2 region. Will that work for you ? We will soon be expanding to other regions, so please stay tuned."
So one day migration through Azure Data Studio will be possible but for now it's only to East US2 region

Unable to import/deploy database to SQL Azure: "The service objective (Business/Web) specified is invalid."

I'm trying to move my databases to a newer Azure subscription. I used to simply click "Deploy to Azure" on a local database from SSMS and have it deployed to a specified Azure server. Importing/Exporting a BACPAC file also works. However, I can't seem to do any of this on the new server. I keep getting the error:
"The service objective 'Web' specified is invalid."
Googling around, I found this thread explaining the need to update the CREATE DATABASE template to accommodate Azure Databases (Azure upgrade, I'm guessing). However, the hotfix provided is specifically for SQL Server 2014 and I'm using SQL Server 2012. I checked other cumulative updates for 2012 here but found no fix for the issue.
Is there any other way I can fix this without having to upgrade to 2014?
Just to summarize my software versions:
SQL Server 2012
SQL Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Local database: SQL Server 10.50.16000
Old Azure server: SQL Server 11.0.9230
New Azure server: SQL Server 13.0.15
You are getting this error because the latest V12 servers are not supporting the Web and Business Editions anymore. If you don't want to upgrade to SSMS 2014, you can create a V11 server and import your DB on this server. However this is only a temporary solution as Web and Business edition databases will be retired in September. At this point you will have to work with the latest tools to avoid this problem.
There is a Hotfix for it you can download and install on your machine. Please navigate to:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2936603
You need to enter your email then download link will be sent to your email address. Then install it on your machine and you can see the following options:
Install the database as a Data Project into Visual Studio,
Set the target framework in the properties window to SQL Azure,
Build the project and resolve any unsupported issues.
Publish to your azure site.
I have tried the above and did not work for me - this solution worked!

Deploy standalone database

I create an application and use SQL SERVER 2008 R2 as its database. How I will deploy my application in a standalone computer without attaching the database? Is it possible to do that ?
Incase you don't want to install sql server on client side,you need to change database to any document database.you may go for sqlite http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/22165/Using-SQLite-in-your-C-Application
