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.

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.

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.

Error when running scheduled refresh from SQL Azure data

I have a PowerPivot that connects to a SQL Azure database table. I added the username and password in the PowerPivot connection. It refreshed fine manually straight from PowerPivot. However, when I upload the excel file to Power BI
and I schedule a refresh, it fails with the following error message:
Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again. Correlation ID: d43f07fc-cc0c-461c-b25e-68e866a2a911
I went through this FAQ (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/scheduled-refresh-faq-HA104180763.aspx#_Toc388441416)
and the steps have me also saving the password in the connection string. However the connection string (under tab Data->Connections) is grayed-out and I am unable to enter the password.
Thanks for your help...

Hi,
When you refresh in Excel client, do you get a prompt for the password?
What worked for me in the past, is the following process:
1. Within PowerPivot, get the data but don't save the password there.
2. Once you get the data go back to Excel, switch to Data ribbon >> Connections, and select the connection(s) that were created in PowerPivot and select to save the password.
3. Refresh the data (it will prompt for the password), save the file.
4. Just to be sure, open the file again, refresh and see that it is not prompting for a password.

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

insert into @TTName
(TableSchemaTableName)
select *
from AvailableTables
declare @TableSchemaTableName varchar
(500)
declare @sqlstatement nvarchar

Can I migrate from sql azure business database edition (old) to sql azure standard database edition (new in preview)?

I have an export .bacpac file from a sql azure business database edition and I want import that file to sql azure standard database edition.
I have tried through Azure but I think that is not supported yet.
I have also tried through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2012 but Wizard only shows me old editions "web" and "business" for destination database and it is incompatible...
Thanks.

I've done this today.
You'll need to restore your database onto Azure as a Business/Web addition. Either use your existing or New > SQL Database > Import.
Then you need to sign up to the SQL Preview https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/preview/.
Once you've done that, in the Azure portal under DB > Scale, you'll have Web, Business, Basic, Standard and Premium to choose from.
Obviously this is still in preview mode.

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?
Thanks Guy

Cannot refresh data in Excel Services with SQL Azure databases

I do not understad why I get that error because my data source is on Azure why It told me "OnPremise" ?

hi,
>> this button of excel gets just address of web and have button for import it
i test it by rest API project , but doesn't work, do you know how it is work?
Do you mean that you don't know how to get the table? You may input the site address into the address box, and then click go button nearby, select the table you want to import into the Excel. Then click import button.That also works for rest API,
and your rest API should get the data that you want
By the way, this is the forum for discussions about Excel develop(VBA ,customization), better to go to TechNet forum for Excel for Excel features question, so that you could get more professional help.

In order to use Unflatten from string you first need to Flatten it
before writing it. Also depending on the database driver, the returned
data may actually not be binary but Hexadecimal encoded ASCII which you
would first have to decode to binray.

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:
