SQL Server Audit Feature for SQL Azure

What is the status of support for SQL Server Audit features in SQL Azure? If auditing is supported in SQL Azure, can you point me to some resources that describe best practices for using auditing in SQL Azure?

New feature in Azure SQL Database!
Azure SQL Database Auditing tracks database events and writes audited events to an audit log in your Azure Storage account. Auditing is available in preview for Basic, Standard, and Premium service tiers. Auditing can help you maintain regulatory compliance,
understand database activity, and gain insight into discrepancies and anomalies that could indicate business concerns or suspected security violations.

Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

Hi,
We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
Here are our main concerns/desires:
Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
Thanks, Sam

hello,
SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the
Premium Preview
for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

Hi,
You can check the DNS name of the VM in the VM instance page of the Azure management portal.
In addition, you can also refer to the third-party article below:

Unqueriable SQL Azure DB Server

I have a SQL Azure DB server that is in a "bad" state. The error I get in the console is:
Some features are not currently available for the server '<server name>' in subscription '<sub id>' since the server information could not be retrieved
at the moment. Please wait a few minutes and then try this operation again.
The databases for server
<server name> located in region <region>
for subscription <sub id> could not be retrieved.
Please wait a few minutes and then try this operation again. For more information about Microsoft Azure service availability, visit the Microsoft
Azure Service Dashboard.
The two primary issues are:
1. If I attempt to delete it in console, it fails
2. If I attempt to delete it from the PowerShell console, it hangs my console
I simply want to delete it...any suggestions?

Hi,
which region your SQL data base is located. Hope it is not in the below mentioned region.
North Europe, North Central US, West Europe, Central US and Australia East. We are experiencing the downtime in these regions.
Request you to try after some time by following these steps in the link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj856270.aspx
hope this helps you.

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.

SQL Server 2012 Deploy Database to SQL Azure...

I have spent many days trying to copy a simple test database from my PC to SQL Azure but with little success. Then I installed SQL Server 2012 and see a new task:
Deploy Database to SQL Azure... It looks like an automated extraction to DAC and then creating the Azure database all in one step.
I was elated, but got hit with the following three types of errors.
One or more unsupported elements were found in the schema used as part of a data package.
Error SQL71564: The element Extended Property: [dbo].[Accounts].[Address].[MS_Description] is not supported when used as part of a data package (bacpac).
Error SQL71564: Table Table: [dbo].[Activities] does not have a clustered index. Clustered indexes are required for inserting data in this version of SQL Server.
Error SQL71564: Element User: [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] has an unsupported property AuthenticationType set and is not supported when used as part of a data package.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
May I know what I can do on the on-premise database to rid of the first and third error?
Thanks.

Hello,
1) Remove the Extended Property from the (?) column Address in table Accounts.
BTW, for small databases it's sometimes easiere to generate a script for the database (and modify it slightly) instead of using the Wizard

What is Extended Property? What is this .MS_Description? I can't see it in the table designer or the Column Properties. (I don't know whether this was corruption caused by Data Sync I used earlier.) How do I remove it.
Of all the methods of copying SQL Server to Azure SQL, this one gives the least mistakes. If I can solve this Extended Properties thing hopefully I can migrate the database over.

Hi,
This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
Server Configuration Manager(Local)
From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed"
If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account.
Hello,
Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
To resolve it, follow these steps:-
When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
been created. Check the Services console.
If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
Use this link to change sql server service account
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
You should be able to log in to the server now.
Hope this helps someone.

StoredProcedure [dbo].[p_sizetables] -- 'db_name(' is supported only for the local database. You should test to verify the results are what you want. – Reynel Useche Velasco just now edit
Reynel Alfredo Useche Velasco

Hi Reynel,
I see that you have posted this query on stack overflow.
I would like to involve our SQL experts in this topic and get the best solution.
As of now to my knowledge @@TOTAL_WRITE is not supported on SQL Azure.
In the meantime, you can refer the below links for migrating your database from on-prem to Azure.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Sql Azure Error :Failed to establish a MARS session in preparation to send the request to the server.

Hi All,
I have a small C# console app.
I have been facing some timeout issue with Sql Azure for a while now.
I now decided to use the retry logic and Reliable connections - using the
TransientFaultHandling Enterprise lib
RetryPolicy myretrypolicy = new RetryPolicy<SqlAzureTransientErrorDetectionStrategy>(3, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
What should be the correct max tries and interval that actually works for SQL AZURE?
The issue i have is when i use this lib i keep getting error :
Failed to establish a MARS session in preparation to send the request to the server.
As anyone used this library successfully in a console app before.If yes can you share some resources or some sample snippet code.
Cheers

Hey there and apologies for the slow response. Is this still an issue for you? And do you still need help?
Thanks Guy
