Unable to drop SQL azure table

Hi,
I'm trying to drop SQL azure table. However I can delete data inside the table. When using drop command, it is taken long time processing and finally this error message 'Connection Failed'. Please help me. Thanks

That sounds like an internal error in SQL Server which may be due to corruption. Don't really know how you deal with that in Azure. But if DBCC CHECKDB is available, run it and see what happens.
Also, do you have any DDL triggers on the database? In such case, disable the trigger, in case it is the trigger that is failing.

I'm unable to create a new Table on SQL Azure.

I'm trying to create a new table in my custom database. But i'm getting this error message:
'Filegroup reference and partitioning scheme' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.'
Here is the sample create schema:
CREATE TABLE dbo.[Contact](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [nvarchar](250) NULL,
[LastName] [nvarchar](250) NULL,
[InsertDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[UpdateDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[PhoneNo1] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CellNo1] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[IsActive] [bit] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Contact] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[ID] ASC
)WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]

In addition to Neil's comment, I would add that one of the major strengths of SQL Azure is its simplicity from an administrative standpoint while providing as much parity as possible for the relational and programming stack. In somes
cases, less is more. SQL Azure is an example. By having a simpler system we are able to get certain capabilities not available on premise. Take a look at the CREATE DATABASE XYZ AS COPY OF operation for example, you do not have to worry about finding
a server with enough space; you do not have to worry about moving files around a network or creating shares between machines; and best of all, you do not have to any kind or provisioning of cleanup as a result of cloning a database. The upcoming Data Federation
feature is another example of what you can achieve when you are free of underlying configuration details.
That's not to say SQL Azure wouldn't benefit from some capabilties of the SQL Server platform (for example TDE); but personally I am happy that two years later we still don't have to worry about many of those low-level configuration details.

Unable to rebuilding clustered index in SQL Azure

Hi,
I'm trying to rebuild a clustered index in SQL Azure. The table is quite large, and I'm attempting an offline rebuild using:
ALTER INDEX PK_Asset ON dbo.Asset
REBUILD
Unfortunately, I'm unable to complete this operation because the operation fails with a timeout. I've tried it several times, but with no success.
The index fragmentation is estimated to be around 85%, so I'm quite keen to reduce this.
Does anyone have any tips for getting around this in SQL Azure?
Thanks,
Nick

I believe you must be getting these error messages while tyring this operation:
Msg 40552, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
The session has been terminated because of excessive transaction log space usage. Try modifying fewer rows in a single transaction.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Creating, rebuilding and dropping indexes could generate a lot of transaction log records and may hit this error msg on larger tables. You may be able to work around the issue by creating a new table with the desired index layout, and then move the data
in smaller chunks over to the new table. However in most cases, you can minimize transaction log space usage with index operations by using the ONLINE option with your statement. Specifying the ONLINE=ON with CREATE, ALTER and DROP INDEX operations change
the characteristics of the execution. Instead of a single large transaction, the operation is performed in multiple shorter transactions in the background without holding exclusive locks for extended periods of time on the rows. This both improves concurrency
during the execution of the operation, and it eases the transaction log space requirement for the operation. This can help you avoid the 40552 exception.
PS: The rebuild command using the ONOINE=ON may also fail if you have BLOB datatype colume (datatype like ttext, image, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), xml, or large CLR type).

Unable to descripe the table and unable to drop the table

Hi,
I have a temp table that we use like staging table to import the data in to the main table through some scheduled procedures.And that will dropped every day and will be created through the script.
Some how while I am trying to drop the table manually got hanged, There after I could not find that table in dba_objects, dba_tables or any where.
But Now I am unable to create that table manually(Keep on running the create command with out giving any error), Even I am not getting any error (keep on running )if I give drop/desc of table.
Can you please any one help on this ? Is it some where got stored the table in DB or do we any option to repair the table ?
SQL> select OWNER,OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE,STATUS from dba_objects where OBJECT_NAME like 'TEMP%';
no rows selected
SQL> desc temp
Thank in advance.

Hi,
if this table drops then it moved DBA_RECYCLEBIN table. and also original name of its changed automatically by oracle.
For example :
SQL> create table tst (col varchar2(10), row_chng_dt date);
Table created.
SQL> insert into tst values ('Version1', sysdate);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from tst ;
COL        ROW_CHNG
Version1   16:10:03
If the RECYCLEBIN initialization parameter is set to ON (the default in 10g), then dropping this table will place it in the recyclebin:
SQL> drop table tst;
Table dropped.
SQL> select object_name, original_name, type, can_undrop as "UND", can_purge as "PUR", droptime
2 from recyclebin
SQL> /
OBJECT_NAME                    ORIGINAL_NAME TYPE UND PUR DROPTIME
BIN$HGnc55/7rRPgQPeM/qQoRw==$0 TST           TABLE YES YES 2013-10-08:16:10:12
All that happened to the table when we dropped it was that it got renamed. The table data is still there and can be queried just like a normal table:
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='HH24:MI:SS' ;
Session altered.
SQL> select * from "BIN$HGnc55/7rRPgQPeM/qQoRw==$0" ;
COL        ROW_CHNG
Version1   16:10:03
Since the table data is still there, it's very easy to "undrop" the table. This operation is known as a "flashback drop". The command is FLASHBACK TABLE... TO BEFORE DROP, and it simply renames the BIN$... table to its original name:
SQL> flashback table tst to before drop;
Flashback complete.
SQL> select * from tst ;
COL        ROW_CHNG
Version1   16:10:03
SQL> select * from recyclebin ;
no rows selected
It's important to know that after you've dropped a table, it has only been renamed; the table segments are still sitting there in your tablespace, unchanged, taking up space. This space still counts against your user tablespace quotas, as well as filling up the tablespace. It will not be reclaimed until you get the table out of the recyclebin. You can remove an object from the recyclebin by restoring it, or by purging it from the recyclebin.
SQL> select object_name, original_name, type, can_undrop as "UND", can_purge as "PUR", droptime
2 from recyclebin
SQL> /
OBJECT_NAME                    ORIGINAL_NAME TYPE                      UND PUR DROPTIME
BIN$HGnc55/7rRPgQPeM/qQoRw==$0 TST           TABLE                     YES YES 2006-09-01:16:10:12
SQL> purge table "BIN$HGnc55/7rRPgQPeM/qQoRw==$0" ;
Table purged.
SQL> select * from recyclebin ;
no rows selected
Thank you

How to add description of a column of a table in SQL Azure

Hi
I have some tables in my application database where there are descriptions added against certain columns. Needless to say they were done by using sp_addextendedproperty.
Now I am trying to migrate the Database to SQL Azure. SQL Azure does not support sp_addextendedproperty.
Hence I am not able to figure out how to add descriptions to those columns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Just as Latheesh post above, Windows Azure SQL database are not support extended stored procedures. That’s one of the limitations on SQL database, and I don’t know there is another way to achieve the same on Azure.

Unable to save a report that includes a datasource of "Microsoft SQL azure" type

I have install SSRS in azure using the following instructions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn449661.aspx) and all seems to work fine, however when I create a report in report builder 2014 (in this case empty) that includes a Microsoft SQL Azure
datasource type I am unable to save the report and get the following error message (even though when I test connection it succeeds).
"The report definition was saved, but one or more errors occurred while setting the report properties"
Reports with standard sql datasources work fine.
I have also tried creating the report using Visual Studio 2013 and get a similar error message.
I have tried this using SQL 2012 and SQL 2014 and get the same error.
Does anybody know how I can create a report with Microsoft SQL Azure datasource type?

Hi jamesla,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by a deleted shared data source still exist under the Data Sources list in Report Builder. For more details about this scenario, we can refer to the following thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/7170dbee-048c-4298-89ba-df4d42924c8e/the-report-definition-was-saved-but-one-or-more-errors-occurred-while-setting-report-properties?forum=sqlreportingservices
Since the error message without detail information, we can try to render the report to see the detail error message. Besides, we can try to check it in the log file. The SQL Reporting Services log files are found on the reporting services point server, in
the folder %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles.
For more information about how to use Microsoft SQL azure as the data source of a report, please see:

Azure Tables or SQL Azure?

I am at the planning stage of a web application that will be hosted in Azure with ASP.NET for the web site and Silverlight within the site for a rich user experience. Should I use Azure Tables or SQL Azure for storing my application data?

Hi Carol,
Before we choose the Azure Table Or SQL Azure for storing
data, we need to know their differences and
Scenarios:
First ,Azure SQL Database is a relational database service that extends core SQL Server capabilities to the cloud.
While
Azure Table Storage is a fault-tolerant, ISO 27001 certified
NoSQL key-value store. It stores structured data
without schemas, it does not provide any way to represent relationships between the data.
Second, If your application stores and retrieves large data sets that do not require rich relational capabilities, Azure Table Storage might be a better choice. If your application requires data processing
over schematized data sets and is relational in nature, Azure SQL Database might better suit your needs.
In fact There are
several other of factors you should consider when choose which one to store data ,please refer to the links below for more information:

Migrating Azure table storage content to On prem SQl database

hi
is it possible to import azure table storage data to On prem Sql database ?

Hi
You cannot do it directly from SQL or Azure Storage Explorer.
But you can have a little application that extracts your table storage data into some CSV file like this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jmstall/archive/2012/08/03/converting-between-azure-tables-and-csv.aspx
And then import the CSV file that you generate into your on-prem sql database

Unable to acces a an Azure website that uses SQL Azure?

I have have uploaded a website to Azure that usese SQL Azure. When I try to access that stie iget the connection error message below.
"The device or resource (the site URL) is not set up to accept connections on port "The World Wide Web service (HTTP)".
When I upload a website that does not uses SQL azure, I can access that site without any connection errors.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Does the site load at all? If not, can you double check that your endpoints are properly defined in your service definition?
Have you configured your SQL Azure instance to accept connections from other Windows Azure Services datacenters? You need to make sure the firewall rule exists with IP Start and End range of 0.0.0.0. There is a check box you can simply
check in the SQL Azure firewall settings.
If neither of those work, can you paste the SQL Connection string (without the server, username, and password).

Best way to Insert Millions records in SQL Azure on daily basis?

I am maintaining millions of records in Sql Server 2008 R2 and now i am intended to migrate these on SQL Azure.
In existing system with SQL Server 2008 R2, few SSIS packages and Stored Procedures are firstly truncate the existing records and then perform Insert operation on the table which holds
approx 26 Million records in 30 mins. on Daily basis (as system demands).
When i migrate these on SQL Azure, i am unable to perform these operations in a
faster way as i did in SQL 2008. Sometimes i got Request timeout error.
While searching for faster way, many of them suggest for Batch process or BCP. But Batch processing is NOT suitable in my case because it takes much time to insert those records. I required some faster and efficient way on SQL Azure.
Hoping for some good suggestions.
Thanks in advance :)
Ashish Narnoli

+1 to Frank's advice.
Also, please upgrade your Azure SQL Database server to
V12 as you will receive higher performance on the premium tiers. As you scale-up your database for your bulk insert, remember that
SQL Database charges by the hour. To minimize costs, scale back down when the inserts have completed.

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.
