Hi,
Thanks for posting here.

I think the best bet is to use SQL Data Sync, it should gives you bidirectional and we use it currently to sync data around the world in terms of datacenters and one local on premise database. It will only give you 5 mins sync timing but this will probably
do, otherwise the next best options is to use SQL Server VMs and do the old fashion way. But with SQL Azure Data Sync we have found to be reasonable reliable and been running it for a good six months syncing across 4 database in four data centres in Azure.
Some problems though with it,
It uses Triggers.
It will obivously add load and connections to your current SQL Database.
It is in preview last time I looked, so it might not be 100% suitable for you

  • Connection between two SQL Azure Databases

    We have a requirement to move data (partial data in a table based on policy conditions) between two SQL Azure Databases. Want to know the best possible way to do this.
    We are not looking at Data Sync Framework - as this is only a Preview version and we have to use this in an ongoing basis in Production and the volume of data is quite high.
    The option that we have currently is to use an on premise stored procedure - that will have two link servers to the source and target SQL Azure Databases and do the data movement in one transaction.
    Are there any other better options to do this ? Any pointers will be helpful.

    Hi Kothai Ramanathan,
    According to your description, if you just want to moving part of the data from a huge table between two different SQL Server database, you can use
    SQL Server replication to sync the part of data via articles. However, in SQL Azure database, it does not support SQL Server replication, if you want to migrate database, as other post, you
    can use Data-Tier Application Import and Export or other ways.
     In addition, for just moving the part of data,  you can also create two Linked Servers between local SQL Server database and two different SQL azure database. For example, you can get the changed data from the first Linked
    Server and saved the data to Local database, then insert these data to the other azure database via the second Linked Server.
     For more information, see:

  • Backup for Sql Azure Database

    Hi,
    We are using the automatic backup option available with Sql Azure , but it is not working for us and throwing the some error.When we raised the ticket for same we had received reply saying this feature is not supported by MS.
    Could you please advise what is best approch for taking the backup for Sql Azure Database.
    Regards...

    Point in time restore is a great feature to sit along side automated export but not a replacement. Automated Export allows us to keep long term backups (30, 60, 90 days) which are important and also allows the ability to import to my local server a backup
    from a previous day for testing or support reasons.
    RedGate provide a backup service as well but I was hoping by using PIT restore and automated backup together I would no longer need to pay for that third-party service.

  • Link a Crystal Report report with an SQL Azure database

    Hi,
    I want to use my database on SQL Azure in Crystal Report. So I want to link my reports with data contained not in a local db, but in a SQL Azure one.
    Insiede Crystal Report I have created a new ADO connection to my SQL Azure, providing server, db, user, password, and Crystal Report have recognized the database. But when I go to the Database Expert and I try to set this ADO connection inside my report,
    I recieve this error:
    "Not Implemented
    Source ADODB.Connection
    L'operazione richiesta non è supportata dall'oggetto o dal provider (operation not supported by the object or by the provider)"
    Why? How can i use my SQL Azure data in my Crystal Report reports?
    Thanks

    Hi Delfins,
    Please create a UDL file to test the connection, ensure the connection is fine and then use the same connection string in your Crystal Report.
    For UDL file, you can refer to:

  • Error when trying to upgrade SQL Azure database using DAC Package in MGMT Studio - "Unexpected XML Content"

    Hi there,
    I am trying to upgrade a database running in SQL Azure from my local dev box which is running SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp1 (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64))
    I extract the dac with no problems from my local database. However, when I try to upgrade the Azure db I get the below error.
    This error occurs just after I browse to select the dac package and click open in the browse window. I.e. It happens before I actually try and apply this dac to the Azure database. Something is going wrong, presumably, when the package is parsed by management
    studio.
    I am running Visual Studio 2010 Premium Sp1 if that matters, plus all the various updates required for Azure development..
    Thanks for your help!

    Hey there, and apologies for the lack of response.  Are you still having this issue and still needing help?

  • Cost of bandwidth to/from SQL Azure database? Free?

    Anyone know if the SQL Azure or remoteapps services charge for bandwidth used between them? It's just Microsoft's LAN right?

    Hi,
    If the Azure RemoteApp collection and the Azure SQL Database that it is connecting to are located in the same Azure Region then there is no charge for bandwidth.  For example, if you create a RemoteApp collection in West US that is accessing
    an Azure SQL Database that is also in West US, then there is no charge for bandwidth.
    If the Azure SQL Database is located in a different region than the RemoteApp collection then you will pay for outgoing data transfer from the Azure SQL Database to the RemoteApp.

  • Need to take SQL Azure database backup into blob using dacpac services, the blob has to be encrypted.

    We are able to take backup of our database into blob storage using dacpac services, but we need to encrypt the blob data. Please suggest the efficient way to do it.

    Hello,
    As per my understanding, Windows Azure Storage does not transparently encrypt data or provide any special encryption mechanisms. Azure Blob Storage protect the data by using a storage key to control access to all data in that Storage Account.
    If you want to encrypt data of file inside Azure Blob Storage Services , you can refer to the following thread about same requirement:

  • SQL azure database size not dropping down after deleting all table

    Dear all,
    I have a simple database on Azure for which I have deleted all table data. The size of the database is still showing 5Mb of data and I am charge for that. I have heard that this may happen from cluster index getting fragmented.
    I have run  a querry I found on internet on all my table index to show percentage of fragmentation and all report 0%.
    DBA is not so my job but what could it be or how can I reduce that size ?
    ON premise I would use COMPACT DB but not available in azure like some others DB action
    Thnaks for tips
    regards

    user created objects/data are not the only ones stored in your database. you got system objects and metadata as Mike mentions above.
    are you trying to skip being charged if you're not storing data? looking at the pricing table,  you'll still get charged the $4.995 for the 0-100MB database size range.

  • Connect to Existing SQL Azure Database

    I'd like to create a Azure Mobile Service (.NET) that reads / writes from an existing database that is being used by an MVC 5 app. I've been trying, without luck, for the better part of a day to make this happen through the few examples that exist on the
    internet.
    I've just now come across this
    StackOverflow post where Carlos Figueira, in a response, says that a mobile service creates a new schema with the same name as the service name and all access is done via that schema and the user that has permission to that schema. If this is the case,
    how will I be able to have my mobile service connect to an existing table, if it always creates new tables in the new schema?
    Also, I'm getting the impression that mobile services using .NET is much happier if I don't attempt to connect to an existing DB. Is this the case?
    Randy Minder

    Thank you Matt. I have an additional question, if you don't mind. It appears that if I attempt to connect to an existing Azure DB from Mobile Services, that wasn't created by Mobile Services, a new schema is created in my DB, and Mobile Services recreates
    the tables I'm trying to access in that new schema.
    For example, say I'm try to access a table named Alert from a mobile service named MyMobileService. It appears that Mobile Services creates a schema named MyMobileService, and a table named Alert in that schema, and uses that table, instead of the table
    I really want it to use. 
    Is this correct? If so, I really don't want Mobile Services doing this. Is there a work around?

  • Sql Azure - Change Database Owner

    Is it possible to change the owner of a database in SQL Azure? I have a database that I'm trying to make a copy of, which I am not the owner of. My research seems to show that only the account that created the database (the owner) is allowed to run a command
    such as CREATE DATABASE ... AS COPY OF ...

    Hi lexk,
    According to your description, currently, personally, there is only one login which acts as the administrator. Usually, when you create a server in SQL Azure, you will create this login at the same time, which has access to all databases in the Server. You
    may create other login, however, they are less privileges than the administrator. So only the administrator can execute the create database ..as copy of .. command in SQL Azure database.
    This command requires that you must connect to master database, and also you must have the create database permission in the copy database. Even if you create a login and user in master database, and grant dbmanager permission to this user, when you execute
    the following command after connecting to master database, it will still show error 262.
    Create database <newname> as copy of < exist database>
    Msg 262, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database ' exist database '.
    If you just want to run create database command in SQL Azure database, you can ask the administrator to grant dbmanager role to your own login. For more information, see:

  • SQL Azure with Azure Virtual Machine inside Virtual Network - How to connect

    Hi Team,
    I have one typical scenario where there is one Windows Application I wan to run from my Windows Azure Virtual Machine which is inside Azure Virtual Network (which has its DNS and ADFS and etc..)
    Because its Virtual Network, We can't access internet within that network, apparently Virtual Machine can't access SQL Azure. So, How would we resolve this scenario.
    Application is running great from my local system so, its accessing SQL Azure Database from my system. So, Application or SQL Azure or connection or such areas has no issue.
    Regards, Brijesh Shah

    Hi Brij,
    Thanks for your reply.
    To add a DNS server in an Azure Virtual network, you can refer to the link below:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn275925.aspx
    To obtain a public Azure-provided DNS server IP addresss, you can run "ipconfig/all" in another Azure VM which is not a virtual network which has DNS server defined. After you add a DNS server in the virtual network that VM belongs to, please restart
    the VM to update the change.
    However, since you mentioned that you are using a customed domain, I am not quite sure if any other configuration should be done for your domain.
    Best regards,
    Susie
