I want to create an Azure SQL database to test VB.Net code for accessing an Azure Database with my MPN benefit of $130 CND/month. But when I attempt to configure an SQL database in the Portal using what I think are the least costly parameters, the estimated cost that it calculates is over $400 CND per month.
Does this sound right? Am I missing something?
Is it even feasible to have a simple test database for less than $130 cnd/month?

Please let us know if you need any further help regarding this issue.
Please let us know if you have tried DTU model for creating the Database. If you check the pricing calculator , you get a lot of pricing options compatible with MPN discount.
You can find the details of DTU model here.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
