How to restore sql database in Private Azure Cloud subscription?

I want to restore my database bacpac file
into Private
cloud Azure Subscription but I do not get any option in Azure portal :(
Is there any way to do this?
questions I asked here at stackoverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28847844/how-to-restore-sql-database-in-private-azure-cloud-subscription

Hi itsashuthinks,
Currently for private cloud Azure there is no Import/Export Service to import your BACPAC file into SQL Database.
Because of this you will need to use client tools.
The process to do this is the following.
Open SSMS and connect to your cloud server.
Right click on "Databases" under your server in object explorer and select import data-tier application.
Follow the import wizard instructions to start the import.
Learn more about Data-tier applications and migrations here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210546.aspx
Hope this helps!

Can't connect to SQL Database using new login

I can connect to Azure SQL Database using the admin ID created when I set up the Azure account. Now I want to set up a different login that has only regular read/write privileges. I have followed the instructions on several web posts, to create
a login at the server level, then create a user at the database level from the login. When I try to connect, though, the connection fails. I get an error message, and a GUID that I am supposed to supply to MS tech support, except that all I have
is a standard Azure subscription, which does not include tech support.
Here is what I have done so far:
Logging in to the server with the admin account with SQL Mgmt Studio, I go to the master database on my Azure server, and create the login:
CREATE LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
This appears to work (password supplied is a "strong" password), or at least it doesn't show any error response.
Then, connecting to the production database in Azure, I set up a user and set permissions as follow:
CREATE USER clouduser1 FROM LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'clouduser1'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'clouduser1'
When I attempt to connect to Azure using the new login, however, I get an error message (from SQL Mgmt Studio as well as from MS Access). I am using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.
The message is:
Connection failed:
SQLState '28000'
SQL Server Error 18456
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'clouduser'.
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 40608
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]This session has been assigned a tracing ID of
'271851d5-8e94-497c-a332-d9d40682bb7a'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance.
Is there some missing step I need to do, to permit the login to see the database? I have looked for such in the various discussions about connection problems, but have not been able to find such a thing. Or extend more permissions to the new
user? Or specify a default user ID for a given login ? (as they do not have the same names, in the examples I have seen). I tried making the user ID the same as the login (w/o the server name), but that didn't seem to help, either.
I have done numerous web searches, and tried about every variation of login or user ID, password, etc. that I can think of, and all of them encounter the same error. It's got to be something very simple - clearly Azure supports more than one login
per database. But's that's all I have at the moment. That login connects just fine, but others won't, using the same PC, middleware, IP address, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated -
Thanks,
Doug

Olaf -
I noticed that, but all of the examples I have seen have Users named slightly differently from the Logins. I did try logging in with the Login name instead. No good. I tried making the Login and the User name the same (clouduser). Also
no good - same symptoms.
I think the problem is that the initial creation of the Login needs to be done WITHOUT the server name on the end.
Logged in to the master DB, I tried: Create LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
That didn't give me an error message, but I think it created a LOGIN of 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'. When
referenced from the outside world, I would need to specify 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb@gxw8x04nlb'.
I tried deleting the logins, and then creating the login 'clouduser' in the Master DB. Then in
the application DB, I created User clouduser from LOGIN clouduser, and then assigned a role. That seems to work!
In my connection string, File DSN, etc. I still need to supply the login as 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'.
But when I am logged in to the server, and working in the Master DB or the application DB, I just refer to the Login as 'clouduser'.
Seems a little more complicated than it really should be, but at least I now have something that works.

Setting System DSN for MS Access Database using Java Code

How to set the system DSN for Access database using Java Code at runtime....???
Replies are deeply appreciated...

I found a 3rd Party MS Access JDBC Driver from a Google search. I downloaded and tried the free trial version. It worked fine but we opted not to purchase the full version and went a different route. If you don't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can track down the name of the product we tested.

How to create an SQL Database using LabVIEW??

Hi all,
I have been using LabVIEW for quite a long time but now I am doing something which I am totally new to. I have a VI which gives out a table as output. What I am trying to do is, I want to create an SQL databse and save this table in the database and I want to pass the value of this table to the SQL Database once in every 24 hours. As I dont have any knowledge of My SQL I am totally stuck.
Can anyone help me by telling me how to do this.?? An example code will be well appreciated.

To automate the SQL scripts using PLSQL Code

Hi All,
I have 20 database server (11.2.0.3) hosted on unix and Windows platforms.
Every day I have to kill inactive sessions from all the these 20 database servers. So I have made a below script::
connect sys/&&sys_password@&&tns_database_name as sysdba
SPOOL E:\DELETE_INACTIVE_SESSIONS.SQL
set PAGESIZE 1000
set LIN 5000
SET ECHO OFF;
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SET HEADING OFF;
select 'alter system kill session '||'`'||SID||','||SERIAL#||'`'||' immediate;' from v$session where status='INACTIVE' and username in ('OSS_DICTIONARY','ADMINISTRATOR');
SPOOL OFF;
@@E:\DELETE_INACTIVE_SESSIONS.SQL
Is there any way so that this execution of script can be automated in PLSQL code for 20 servers so and that code could be put in batch file for execution(i.e. can be execute through batch file from my windows laptop).
Thanks

Well, remember that PL/SQL is executed on a specific server by a certain user so you are already connected when executing a PL/SQL code.
You could actually use a SQL Plus script to connect to different servers using connect and run your script.
i.e.:
SQL> connect sys/pwd_server1@db_server1
SQL> @killinactive.sql
SQL> connect sys/pwd_server2@db_server2
SQL> @killinactive.sql
But it does not make so much difference with my previous solution.
Please explain exactly what you would like to do.

Error on restore a database using sqlcmd

Hi
I wrote a command to to restore a database (from SQL server backup tool) , it works for a few restore files but faild with a specific bak file.
The error:
sqlcmd -U sa -P password -Q "RESTORE DATABASE TfsWorkItemTracking FROM DISK='x:\tfs\TfsWorkItemTracking.bak' WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N'TfsWorkItemTracking' TO N'D:\SQL_Data\Data\TfsWorkItemTracking.mdf', MOVE N'TfsWorkItemTracking_log' TO N'L:\SQL_Data\Log\TfsWorkIt
emTracking_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 100"
Msg 3634, Level 16, State 1, Server SRVRND-TFSDB10, Line 1
The operating system returned the error '3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)' while attempting 'CreateFile' on 'C:\Prog
ram Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\FTData\TeamFoundationServer10FullTextCatalog\SQL.HDR'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server SRVRND-TFSDB10, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I understood from the error that it is an access error - BUT the path the process try to create the file is not exist at all.
One more issue - when I use the SQL Management consle to restore the database it works propery.
Any idea ?
CM Consultant

Hello Jason, OP and future readers,
The issue here is not what Jason suggested, but was caused by the fact that this database (TfsWorkItemTracking) is a part of Team Foundation Server, and has embedded in it a third item (for Full Text Search queries) that also needs its own MOVE TO clause.
Here is a suitable SQLCMD query that will do what the OP needed:
sqlcmd -U sa -P password -Q "RESTORE DATABASE [TfsWorkItemTracking] FROM DISK = ’x:\tfs\TfsWorkItemTracking.bak’ WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N’TfsWorkItemTracking’ TO N’D:\SQL_Data\Data\TfsWorkItemTracking.mdf’,
MOVE N’TfsWorkItemTracking_log’ TO ’L:\SQL_Data\Log\TfsWorkItemTracking.LDF’,
MOVE N’sysft_TeamFoundationServer10FullTextCatalog’ TO N’D:\SQL_Data\Data\TfsWorkItemTracking.TeamFoundationServer10FullTextCatalog’,
NOUNLOAD, STATS = 100"
The original poster was missing that third "MOVE TO" clause, and SQL Server didn't know what to do with the Full Text metadata in this backup. Note that this object is referenced in the error message, and note that it is attempting
to create this file on the C:, which is the original location of the file when the backup was made, hence leading to the solution.
It is a certainty that the OP ran into this while attempting to migrate from Team Foundation Server 2008 to new hardware and a newer version of SQL and TFS, as this is a common hiccough in the process that isn't well documented. (The majority of the
instructions just say "back up the databases, then restore them to the new SQL server...)

Hi Srk,
I found the similar issue in this article, which had been sovled by adding the script below:

$server.ConnectionContext.StatementTimeout = 0

Query regarding connecting dashboards with SQL DATABASE using WSDT

Hello Sir,
I am trying to connect dashboards with Sql database via WSDT, but i have encountered the same problem as described in your SAP community blog (SAP Web Service Design Tool: From web service creation to Xcelsius consumption).
when i tried connecting CR server with WSDT ,it still shows that total number of available licenses is 0.
What can be done to solve this issue.
for your detail reference, we are using CRS NUL version's 60 days Evaluation keys and same with Xcelsius Departmental edition.
I would really appreciate, if you revert back to my mail as soon as possible

Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? The regular ReportDocument SDK probably isn't robust enough to handle this, unless you create a connection using that connection string at design-time which you don't change at runtime. You might be able to add those properties using the in-proc RAS SDK, though. This is available with CRXI R2 as of SP2, and CR2008.

Generating next number from the SQL database using java

Hi friends, I have a problem and need your help. I am working on a project about submitting claims form through the adobe PDF file and SQL database. I have problem working on a web service (written in java) that will generate the next Invoice Number from the SQL Database table. The field type for the column is text(var char). *Example: I first need to get into the table and search for the last Invoice number in the table and if the last invoice number in the table from the database is 3, i would want to generate the next number which is 4 and filled it up in the PDF file through web service that i am implementing. Can you all provide me some guidelines on how to implement this method in my web service?
Thanks a lot. I need it by today. Hope someone can reply this as soon as possible.

Edited by: LIM89 on Apr 2, 2008 7:10 PM

far simpler to use a sequence generator, which most databases support.
Suggested method to get the max value in the column is NOT secure, unless you lock the entire table for update before you do so, which is a severe performance penalty.

Error upon inserting data in sql Database using stream analytics job: Datatye error conversion

I have a data passed into the Event Hubs, queried by stream analytic job inserting it into sql database. Upon running the job, it becomes idle a few seconds after since it has an error:
Message: Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64.
Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64. Exception message at level [1], exception number [0], parent exception number [0]: Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64.
The data type in one of my field(IsHistorical) is Boolean with a value of false. The data type of the column in the sql table where this is to be inserted is of type bit. In this case, it seems that stream analytics could not convert the value "false"
into a bit data type when inserting in sql table.
I'm wondering if you already have encountered this problem. Could you help me resolve this problem?
Thank you.

Azure Stream Analytics does not have Boolean type. On input we will convert JSON Boolean value to bigint.
Here is the list of supported types and conversions:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn835065.aspx
You can fix this erro by changing column type from bit to int in SQL table schema.
