          Availability Tests in Application Insights support Multi-step tests. With them it is possible to test REST APIs (with authentication flow or hardcoded tokens). SQL Azure supports REST API for CRUD (management) operations. If this is enough for availability for your case - it should work.



          Another approach - stand up something simple (Azure Function?) which will run queries your business logic needs to check for availability. Then point Availability Tests in Application Insights to this Azure Function.



          Availability Tests in Application Insights don't support DB protocols.
