How can i view the SQL Agent in Azure Data Studio? - sql

I have installed Azure Data Studio and the extension SQL Agent. I have also installed the Admin package extension as it seems to be under that.
It does not appear when i click on Manage for the connected database.
How can i get it to appear ?

I installed Azure data studio and sql server agent in Azure data studio using extension menu.
Image for reference:
After connection of Sql Server without clicking manage automatically Sql agent is appear in my case.
Image for reference:
If the Login account connecting to Azure data studio is not a part of SysAdmin role in SQL Server, then SQL Server Agent would not be visible to check this run below query in Azure data studio
Select IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('Sysadmin')
If a value is zero, then you are not a Sysadmin and hence you can’t see SQL Server Agent.
I run the above query I got as
Another possible reason would be that SQL Server in not an edition which supports SQL Server Agent. Typically, SQL Server Express edition could be another cause.
To verify, you can run below query in Azure data studio
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')
I run above query in my system I got as
If the output is “Express” or “Express Edition with Advanced Services”, then you would not see SQL Server Agent node in Azure data studio.
Kindly check above properties of your sql server.

How to upload Visual Studio SQL server LocalDB to Azure

I just finished my first website on Visual Studio, using LocalDB with 30 tables and Identity. Then, I tried to move this website to Azure and I just got success to move the app. Unfortunately, the LocalDB is not recognized by Azure. What do I need to do to upload the database schemes and data?
You can migrate your on-premises database to Azure SQL database using SQL Server 2012(SQL Server 2017 and 2019 might face compatibility issues) and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Firstly, you need to attach your existing database with SSMS. Follow the link.
Follow the below steps in SSMS once your database attached.
Right click on the database you want to migrate. Select Task and from dropdown options select Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database
Click on Next on pop-up window. On the very next window you will get options to connect your Azure SQL Server. Provide your Azure SQL server name, server credentials and click on Connect.
Provide the database name you want to give in Azure SQL Server. Fill the Azure SQL Database settings as per your requirement. Click on Next.
Lastly, you will get a summary of all the settings you have done. Click on Finish to migrate the database.
Once your database migrated successfully, you will get summary with Operation Complete message. Click on close. Your database has been migrated.
Check on your Azure Portal to check the migrated database.

Connect to Azure Database from SQL Server

I am connecting to an Azure hosted SQL Server using SSMS and am getting an error I can't track down. This happens when I open the connection and try to select a database to use or try to refresh the database list.
Reference to database and/or server name in 'msdb.dbo.syspolicy_configuration' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.
For the best experience with Azure SQL Database please download for free the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Please download it from here.
The latest version of SSMS is compatible also with SQL Server 2008 and later.
SSMS 2012 is not compatible with many changes and improvements Azure SQL Database has received the last 6 years.

No UI dialogs in MS Azure / SQL Server Management Studio

Recently, I purchased a licence for a Microsoft Azure SQL Server 2012 (packet "S0" - Standard, 250 GB)
When I connect with SQL Server Management Studio 2012 to this database, then all the user interface dialogs for creating tables, setting up users, etc. are gone.
You can only script and execute pure SQL statements.
Even the table editor is gone, so you even cannot edit the data in a table!
If I connect to a local database, then everything works. So the problem must be related to the Azure Database. Can anyone help ?
If this is Azure SQL Database, then keep in mind that this is not the same as SQL Server 2012 although you can use the same tools to connect to it. This behavior is therefore correct and normal. If you have installed or used an image for SQL Server on a VM then you should have everything as you expect.

Connecting to SQL Azure via Management Studio

I have a SQL Azure database. I can successfully connect to the database via the Azure management portal. In addition, I can successfully connect to the database from my application using the Entity Framework. Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the database via SQL Server Management Studio.
My thought was that SQL Server Management Studio could not connect to the 'master' database. For that reason, it would fail. So, I tried adding the database name via the "Connect to Database" field on the "Connection Properties" tab. Yet, I get the same error. The error looks like the following:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to tcp:{serverName}.database.windows.net,1433.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Login failed for user '{username}'.
This session has been assigned a tracing ID of '{id}'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)

What am I doing incorrectly here? This "server" has 2 SQL Azure databases on it that I'd like to access via management studio. How do I add users so that i can login an manage those two databases? Is there a way to even manage users on a SQL Azure database? I can't seem to figure it out.
Thank you for your help.
What version of SQL Enterprise Management Studio are you using? You need at least SQL Enterprise Management Studio 2008 R2 or later. (Might as well get the latest: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062)
Assuming you've got that, you'd enter it like so in the Connect to Server dialog:
Server type: Database Engine
Server name: tcp:servername.database.windows.net
Authentication: SQL Server
Login: username#servername
Password: password
That should do it -- the other thing to check are the firewall restrictions. You'd be seeing a different error ("client IP address is not allowed access") but it's good to verify that, anyway.

Download SQL SERVER AGENT - Microsoft SQL Server

I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.
Should I install it separately?
Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?
The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.
If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.
SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).
Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.
What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
You (or your company) will need to purchase the full version of SQL server in order to use this functionality.
The other option is to find the command-line instruction that will achieve what you want and then use Windows Task Scheduler to run the command on the schedule you want.
