ServiceObjective	Describes the performance level of the database in SQL Database.	NULL: database not started Base data type: nvarchar(32)
ServiceObjectiveId SQLSortOrder	The id of the service objective in SQL Database. SQL Server sort order ID supported in earlier versions of SQL Server.	NULL 0 = Database is using Windows collation Base data type: tinyint
Status	Database status.	ONLINE = Database is available for query. Base data type: nvarchar(128)
Updateability	Indicates whether data can be modified.	READ_WRITE = Data can be read and modified. Base data type: nvarchar(128)
