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,

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:

Hope this helps,

SQL Azure Reporting - There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. --- Maximum request length exceeded.

I am trying to deploy an RDL file (5MB) to SQL Azure Reporting server in South Central US using the deploy function in SQL Server Data Tools but facing the following error during deployment to Azure Reporting server.
"There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded."
Is there any limit on the size of RDL files which can be deployed to Azure Reporting server? I have seen some online posts which talk about increasing the maxRequestLength in httpruntime of web.config in Reporting server. But in case of Azure Reporting server
how can be make modification to this configuration?
I have tried to upload it directly to SQL Azure Reporting server from the Management Portal --> Upload Report function which still resulted in error.
Thanks & Regards, Deep

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately we are in the process of deprecating SQL Reporting services. Full details are available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg430130.aspx

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.

SQL Azure server instance

I want to find out is how many SQL bulk operations can reliably be done at once on a SQL Azure server instance?
Is there any capacity restrictions such as # of simultaneous bulk inserts, total # of rows per bulk operation,
etc.?
How should we handle multiple sql bulk operations to make this more reliable? Any best practices, recommendations

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 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

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.

Hello,
Extended Properties are not supported in SQL Azure.
To work around this issue, you can use Generate Scripts Wizard to generate script which are compatible with SQL Database and can be compiled on SQL Database without any further modifications. For example, in Choose Script Options, click on the Advanced button
and, set Script Extended Properties = False.

Connect BizTalk Server Configuration with Sql Azure - version 2013 R2

Hi,
My data resides on Sql Azure. I need to create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure using Microsoft BizTalk Server Configuration wizard. Subsequently manage rules from Business Rule Composer.
I am unable to connect to Sql Azure from BizTalk Server Configuration application. Without this i could not create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure. I gave the following details:
Database server name: <servername>.database.windows.net,1433
User name: <username>
Password: <pwd>
When i click configure button, a message pops "The database server you specified cannot be reached...."
All i need from BizTalk is to create Business Rules Engine DB on Sql Azure. Then I would like to manage rules using Business
Rule Composer connecting to Sql Azure BizTalkRuleEngineDb.<o:p></o:p>
My business logic will programmatically access BizTalkRuleEngineDb db and execute rules using Microsoft.RuleEngine.dll<o:p></o:p>
Is this a feasible solution? I would like to see your inputs.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tushar

First I would suggest you to perform sanity check to confirm if SQL server connectivity is perfect.
1) Verify the MSDTC Settings on both the servers:- It should resemble as below.
2) UDL Test:- Create a new "Text Document"(new notepad file) rename it to ABC.udl, double click and give the SQL server details and Test connection. If this fails it means BizTalk is not at all able to connect with SQL and in this
case BizTalk Application is just a victim of Network connectivity issue.
You can also refer the below article-
Resolving the issues you may face during BizTalk Runtime Configuration

"The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch" in SQL Azure - why? what to do?

I'm getting an error on a line in the middle of a larger sql script, only in SQL Azure.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE USER [foouser] FOR LOGIN [foouser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
Error: "The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch."
I don't actually understand what 'the only statement in the batch' means.
What is a batch? Is it a SQL file? Is it related to a 'GO' statement or an 'IF' statement? What is the reason for the error? And how do I avoid it?
Thanks,
Tim

>IF...ELSE imposes conditions on the execution of a Transact-SQL statement
I understand the general purpose of an If statement. I could let go of our definition of statement counting disagreeing too except that because of the error I'm stuck.
It's less important for Create User but what I am really puzzled over now is a very similar issue how am I supposed to do a safe version of CREATE LOGIN, when I don't know whether a login has been previously created on the server or whether I
am setting up the database on a clean server?
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
If I try and execute this script, it throws the same error as above.
The first unworkable workaround idea is to omit the if statement
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
But if the login already exists on the server (because a similar script was already run), then the script throws an error.
The second unworkable workaround idea is to do
DROP LOGIN [foouser]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
Obviously this throws an error in the second block if the login doesn't already exist on the server.
The third workaround idea I have is to go conditional by putting an IF condition around DROP instead of CREATE:
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either!
"The DROP LOGIN statement must be the only statement in the batch"
(This is despite the fact that 'drop login' is listed on the
supported commands page, not the partially supported page..?! Which disagrees with the notes on
this page.)
Anyway the real question I am interesting in addressing is: is there actually a way to have a 'Create/Delete login
if exists' operation which is SQL-Azure compatible and doesn't throw me error messages (which messes with the sql execution tool I am using)?
If there is no way, I would like to believe it's because it would be a bad idea to do this. But in that case why is it a bad idea?

SQL Azure - Intermittent The wait operation timed out

I have a website engine which runs a few hundred "white label" sites. It's hosted on Azure with a SQL Azure Business database. Generally everything is fine - it all works and runs at a good speed.
However, throughout the day I get maybe 40 or 50 of the error:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out
Please don't refer me to the connectivity blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlazure/archive/2010/03/22/9982979.aspx as this seems to refer to problems where you just can't connect. My problem is that it's fine most of the time, but I still get these
intermittently.
This is sometimes on the main database, but we're also using a database for sessions and this gets the errors too. Both databases are on the same server.
I also get errors like:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
and:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The service has encountered an error processing your request. Please try again. Error code 40143. A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
and, when evil bots are hammering the site:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Resource ID : 1. The request limit for the database is 180 and has been reached. See 'http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=267637' for assistance.
Each website can potentially have a Google footprint of around 10,000 pages. The result it that bots are hitting the sites regularly, indexing lots of pages for hundreds of sites. I also have some worker roles doing data work. The database is clearly busy!
I am hoping to add 2 or 3 times the number of sites that I currently have to the "engine".
I am looking at efficiency where possible, but the sites are clearly under a fair load from bots and visitors.
My question is, will one of the upgrades from Business to S2, P1, P2 or P3 resolve these problems? The financial cost of these database instances stagger greatly so I wouldn't want to update and find I'm left with the same problems but am paying many times
more each month.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
For Web/Business edition database, the maximum limit of concurrent requests is 180. Beyond this limit, you will receive error.
The Max woker threads for Standard(S2) is 100, you should upgrade your database to Permium tier.
The concurrent requests limit of premium database varies depending on the reservation size of a premium database. For example, for P1, the max worker threads is 200.

Performance is too slow on SQL Azure box

Hi,
Performance is too slow on SQL Azure box (Located in Europe)
Below query returns 500,000 rows in 18 Min. on SQL Azure box (connected via SSMS, located in India)
SELECT * FROM TABLE_1
Whereas, on local server it returns 500,000 rows in (30 sec.)
SQL Azure configuration:
Service Tier/Performance Level : Premium/P1
DTU       : 100
MAX DB Size : 500GB
Max Worker Threads : 200
Max Sessions     : 2400
Benchmark Transaction Rate      : 105 transactions per second
Predictability : Best
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
Can you please explain in a little more detail the scenario you testing? Are you comparing a SQL Database in Europe against a SQL Database in India? Or a SQL Database with a local, on-premise SQL Server installation?
In case of the first scenario, the roundtrip latency for the connection to the datacenter might play a role.
If you are comparing to a local installation, please note that you might be running against completely different hardware specifications and without network delay, resulting in very different results.
In both cases you can use the below blog post to assess the resource utilization of the SQL Database during the operation:
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/09/11/azure-sql-database-introduces-new-near-real-time-performance-metrics/
If the DB utilizes up to 100% you might have to consider to upgrade to a higher performance level to achieve the throughput you are looking for.
Thanks,
Jan

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:
