Using the ledger features of Azure SQL for blockchain solutions
While the ledger features of Azure SQL Database are not full-fledged blockchain solutions like public blockchain platforms are, they can be utilized to implement certain aspects of blockchain-like functionality for specific use cases. Let’s explore some practical examples of how the ledger features in Azure SQL Database can be used in blockchain solutions.
Supply chain traceability
In a supply chain solution, the ledger features can be employed to record and track the movement of goods and products from their source to the end consumer. Each transaction involving the product’s movement, such as production, shipping, and delivery, can be recorded in the ledger. This ensures an immutable and transparent history of the product’s journey through the supply chain, providing traceability and accountability.
