getting error while taking azure sql backup

I'm using below command to take azure sql databse backup, but getting error.
*** Error exporting database:Database source is not a supported version of SQL Server...tcp:xxxxx.database.windows.net,1433
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Export /SourceServerName:"tcp:xxxxx.database.windows.net,1433" /SourceDatabaseName:DbName /SourceUser:user /SourcePassword:password /TargetFile:C:\backups\backup.bacpac
What this mean? even export data tier application also throws same error.
Please download the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). It seems you are using an old version of SSMS.
Alternatively, you can install a newer version of DacFx. Please download from here.
You can also use the Export option of Azure portal. To export to a blob storage account on Azure and then download the bacpac from there.

Import data from Excel file into SQL Server

i am trying to import data from an EXCEL file into SQL SERVER. When i run this query
SELECT * INTO EXCEL_IMPORT
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Excel 12.0; Database=C:\Users\af\Desktop\Reports\Jan_2016_Ships.xlsx; HDR=YES; IMEX=1',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]');
I get this error
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered.
So i needed to install this driver but after doing some searches i found this :
Install Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver
To import Excel 2007-2016 files to SQL Server Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0
driver should be installed.
To download the driver use the following link:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
Don't worry about "Access" in the name.
Warning! x64 driver can not be installed if Microsoft Office 2007-2016
x86 is already installed!
So there is no way to import Excel data to SQL Server x64 using
OPENROWSET/OPENDATASOURCE functions on a machine with Microsoft Office
x86!
So i couldn't install this driver because i have SQL SERVER x64 and Microsoft Office x86. I don't want to use the simple import wizard because i have many tables and i need to check the data type of the columns... it will be time consuming in my case.
I believe there should be a solution to run my query on SQL SERVER x64 and Microsoft Office x86.
Any suggestions please ? Thank you very much
Best way of Import/Export data into Sql Server is Import/Export Wizard facility in SQL Server .
Please refer below link .

Thanks .
If you run it only once you may can run the query in a SSIS package and change the solution to 32bit-mode (right-click the solution, properties, debugging, run64bitRuntime = false)
Is microsoft excel installed in your system?.
this might solve your problem.
Also you can import to a table manually by SQL management studio.
right Click on database > Tasks > Import Data
It looks like you are mixing 32-bit drivers with 64-bit drivers. This is a big nono. These two resources are probably your best place to start.

Importing .bacpac fails on 'Importing Database'

I am trying to import a .bacpac file into my SQL Server 2016 Express database, however it's failing on the Importing Database step. Has anyone seen this before? Are there any common causes for it to fail at this step?
Whenever I've run into this problem, it's been because the .bacpac came from a different version of SQL Server than I was running. Last time it was because the backup came from SQL Server 2016 and I was running 2014. Upgraded to 2016 and the backup imported just fine.

Sql Azure Premium - Importing dacpac error 'Origin.xml'

I'm trying to import my database using an dacpac file to Sql Azure Premium Version and after some minutes I got this message:
"Error encountered during the service operation. Could not load package. 'Origin.xml' is missing from the dacpac package"
I did another import using an small database and work was okay.
Any Idea?
Thanks.
That's quite an old question but I just encountered the same issue. The problem was that .bacpac was exported with an old version of MSSMS and I tried to import with R2. Exporting with R2 solved the issue.

Latest recommendations for Import\Export of SQl Server bacpac files [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Azure SQL Database Bacpac Local Restore
(6 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I'm trying to get up and running with Windows Azure but finding the database side extremely frustrating. I need to export my local database to a bacpac file from SQL 2008 and then import into Azure. I would also like to be able to export from Azure and then import to my local database for debugging.
I have found a few tutorials online for achieving this but every time I get part way through one of them I eventually hit a section that requires a step where the information or download is marked as outdated! it seems to have changed quite a bit over time and I can't find an up to date resource
Can anyone provide an updated link on how to do this?
Thanks
I had the same issues, all documentation on importing/exporting .bacpac mostly reference SQL 2012. I needed to export a sql 2008 R2 express database to azure as well as to be able to export from azure to my local devlopment environment.
I found the SQL Database Migration Wizard v3.9.9 & v4.0.12 to do the trick.
Download Link: http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/releases/view/32334
Also download the documentation and it will go through the migration of .bacpac to and from the azure and your local server. What is great about the tool is it will perform a compatibility check on the database to ensure it is ready to deploy to azure.
There is also another command line tool I investigated sqlpackage.exe that can be downloaded as part of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools
Download Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
Below is an example of exporting a .bacpac file:
sqlpackage.exe /a:Export /ssn:SERVERNAME\sqlexpress /sdn:SOURCEDATABASENAME /su:DATABASEUSER /sp:DATABASEPASSWORD /tf:c:\SOURCEDATABASENAME.bacpac
I needed to export a SQL Azure database and then import it into a local SQL 2008 R2 server (Note I am also using Visual Studio 2010). Microsoft certainly went out of their way to make this a painful task, however, I was able to do it by doing the following:
Goto think link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj650014 and install the SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2010
This will install on your local drive. In my case here is where it put it: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin
Browse to this via the command line or powershell
You are going to want to execute the SqlPackage.exe
Open up this link to see a list of all the parameter options for SqlPackage.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx)
Here is my command line that I needed to execute to import a .bacpac file into my local SQL 2008 R2 server:
.\SqlPackage.exe /a:Import /sf:C:\mydatabasefile.bacpac /tdn:NorthWind /tsn:BINGBONG
/tdn is the name of the database you want your bacpac file to restore to.
/tsn is the name of your SQL server.
You can see all these parameter descriptions on the link from #5.
