I am migrating my databases from Azure SQL VM to Azure SQL DB using offline migration but while migrating I am getting a error i.e " Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataMigration.Models.ODataError"
I am using powershell script to migrate the database.
I don't know what is wrong in this and why am getting this error.
I have attached the error screenshot herein.
As per this thread on Microsoft Q&A, the issue could be in relation to different collation on the source and destination DB's. I recommend you to raise a support ticket if possible.
Alternatively, you can use SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) to migrate the Database.
Install the SSMS in your local machine and connect to the Azure SQL VM by following connect to SQL server steps in the tutorial.
Once you are connected with the server, follow the steps as mentioned in this thread to migrate the database to Azure SQL Database.

Somehow I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Currently we are running an on premise version of SQL Server. We are looking for the possibility to migrate to the azure cloud for our databases.
However one of our databases heavly runs query using an openedge odbc linked server solution to query an progress database.
I cannot find if it is possible to create a linked server in the azure cloud to allow connections to that progress database.
Does anyone knows if it is possible?
No, Azure SQL Database Managed Instance only support SQL Server/SQL Database linked Servers, Single Database and Elastic pool doesn't support linked servers.
You may check the features that supported by Azure SQL Database here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-features
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.
I have a backup of a SQL Server 2008 database. I'd like to restore it as an Azure SQL Server database. Is this possible?
P.S. I've seen a couple of questions to this effect from 2014. Is it possible today?
AFAIK, no it's not possible.
The Unsupported in SQL Azure doco https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-transact-sql-information/ directs you to BOL and RESTORE shows it's not available in SQL Azure.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx
Are you able to restore the backup to an instance of SQL 2008 on-premises/locally first? If so you can then use management studio to Export the data and schema as a BACPAC or DACPAC file (export data tier application), which can then be imported into an Azure database using the Import data tier application. You can also use the Taks -> Generate Scripts option from the database node in the management studio, ensure you check on include schema and data - then the SQL files can be executed against your SQL Azure instance as well.
There are some features which aren't available in SQL Azure that are on the server product, but the import will tell you about those if there are any - things like FILESTREAM aren't supported in Azure. Here is the link to take you through steps to migrate from SQL server to SQL Azure - and here are the differences in supported features between the two.
I have some production databases in Azure and frequently download them as data tier apps, import them into a local instance of SQL Server to do some debugging or testing, its a painless process.
I have 4 on-premise database server that has to be connected to Sql azure server as linked server.I will be querying these on-premise server from sql Azure database server.As far as I checked online I get the answer as it is not supported in Azure. Kindly advice on the same.
Azure SQL DB is previewing Elastic Database Query feature at this point in time that will help you query from Azure SQL DB to other DBs. You can get detailed information about the feature here.
I an trying to migration tables from a MS Access database (local drive) to SQL Azure. The issue is that when I select the access database SQL Server Management assistant shows 0/0 tables. I can open the database locally and there are 8 tables. Not sure why SQL Server Migration Assistant does not see any of the tables in the access database.
I am using version 6.0 of SQL server Migration Assistant.
I am not sure if you checked the resource here about preparing the access database for migration. It is possible that there are some incompatible features or settings in the Access database that is preventing SSMA to work.
Are there any error messages in the log file? You can find it at "%APPDATA%\Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant\Access\log\ssma.log". Can you post any relevant information here?
