that is a pretty vague question.

DBUs for what? Sending a query to Azure SQL? Or fetching data, transform it and write back or ...?

FWIW: DBUs are Databricks units, so not actually linked to Azure SQL Server.

@Gerard Blackburns :

Calculating the cost or billing for Azure SQL Server instances involves considering the Azure SQL Database Unit (DBU) pricing model. DBUs are the unit of measure for the consumption of Azure SQL Database resources. To calculate the cost, you need to consider the following factors:

Database Service Tier
vCore-based or DTU-based Pricing
Number of vCores or DTUs
Region and Availability Zone
Storage Cost
Managed Instance or Single Database

To get precise pricing information based on your specific requirements and configuration, you can use the Azure Pricing Calculator (https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/)
