 * Added new commands `az atp show` and `az atp update` to view and manage advanced threat protection settings for storage accounts.
 
+**SQL**
+
+* [BREAKING CHANGE] `az sql db create`: Remove "WideWorldImportersStd" and "WideWorldImportersFull" as documented allowed values for "az sql db create --sample-name". These sample databases would always cause creation to fail.
