I've been given some credentials for a database hosted through Azure. I need to download the contents of the database but am not sure where I go from here.
Here are the details provided.
define('DB_NAME', '****');
define('DB_USER', '****');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '****');
define('DB_HOST', 'au-cdbr-azure-southeast-a.cloudapp.net');
How do I use this to download what I need?
Thanks
You have these Azure SQL database credentials. But if the Azure SQL DB doesn't open the database firewall for you, you can't do anything with it.
It means that you could not connect to the Azure SQL database or download the contents of it.
For more details, please see: Azure SQL Database and SQL Data Warehouse IP firewall rules.
If you are added to the database firewall role, you can connect to the Azure SQL database and download it.
Please see: Export an Azure SQL database to a BACPAC file.
Hope this helps.

I've got a handful of databases running on a SQL Server instance. I don't have access to be able to install the Azure Backup agent but I do have connection details and credentials to access the database and perform backups in SQL Server Management Studio.
What I want to do is be able to perform and schedule these backups and save them in to Azure Blob Storage. I could have this schedule running on my local computer but that's not an ideal solution.
I've got a powershell script that will perform this action for me but it relies on SQL Server assemblies to run. I've tried running this as a devops build task but am unable to do so without the assemblies it requires.
Does anybody know a way of setting this up? In azure for example? Is there a resource that will allow me to connect and backup a sql instance via connections string and save down to blob storage. Or an azure function perhaps?
Is there a resource that will allow me to connect and backup a sql instance via connections string and save down to blob storage?
I'm afraid the answer is no.
We can't find any API support in Azure to help you achieve that.
I think the SQL Server Management Studio and powershell script is more suitable for you.
Maybe you can think about using third-party tool SQL Backup and FTP, it can help you schedule backup the SQL Server to Azure Blob Storage.
Hope this helps.
I have created one database from ssms 2017 version on azure sql server with .bacpac file, but when I am trying to access it from azure portal it is not showing under azure sql server instance. But when I am login into that instance with SSMS it is showing that database. Need help on this, can anyone face this problem.

Sandy
I did the same operation successfully. I imported a new database with a BACPAC file to my Azure SQL Database. Please reference my steps:
connect to my Azure SQL Database instance with SSMS, right-click Databsse, choose Import Data-tire Application. I import the DB2 database from my BACPAC files.
Import Settings.
Complete the import. After the import job finished, we can see the database DB2.
Check the database on Azure Portal. Login my portal, choose the SQL server which our database instance host on in home page.
Click in the SQL server and we can find the new database DB2.
My SSMS version is the latest v17.9.1.
Hope this helps.
From azure portal I raise ticket regarding this issue, they solved my problem. Added my Azure Sql database to my subscription. During .bacpac file restore some issue occur due to which it wasn't show on portal. Also I am able to delete that datbase from SSMS generated delete script for database.
How to load my SQL database created in MySQL Workbench on Azure cloud?
I created a database which consists of some tables - for now, there is now data in them, it's just a small script created by MySQL Workbench. I also created a database on Azure cloud, created login & password and when I want to use 'automated export' option (I have Storage account, I enter valid login with password) I have error:
'Could not find any bacpac files in the specified storage account.'
I tried google this phrase but I completely do not understand the idea behind these bacpac files and I do not know what to do with it. Can anyone describe me step-by-step how to put my database on Azure cloud?
I want to connect to this DB on Azure in the future because I would like to do a webapplication and android app which will use a remote DB available online.
Azure SQL Database is a custom SQL Server, so if you want to use MySQL you should create a Clear DB (which is a Microsoft partner that offers MySQL on azure). Other option, you can create a Virtual Machine and install by yourself a MySQL.
After that, you can import your tables / records.
I am trying to create a .bacpac file of my SQL 2012 database.
In SSMS 2012 I right click my database, go to Tasks, and select Export Data-tier Application. Then I click Next, and it gives me this error:
Error SQL71564: Element Login: [myusername] has an unsupported property IsMappedToWindowsLogin set and is not supported when used as part of a data package.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
I am trying to follow this tutorial so that I can put my database on Azure's cloud:

How can I export a .bacpac file of my database?
SQL Azure doesn't support windows authentication so I guess you'll need to make sure your database users are mapped to SQL Server Authentication logins instead.
I found this post referenced below which seems to answer my question. I wonder if the is a way to do this without having to delete my user from my local database...
"... there are some features in on premise SQL Server which are not
supported in SQL Azure. You will need to modify your database before
extracting. This article and several others list some of the
unsupported features.
This blog post explains how you can use SQL Server Data Tools to
modify your database to make it Azure compliant.
It sounds like you added clustered indices. Based on the message
above, it appears you still need to address TextInRowSize and
IsMappedToWindowsLogin."

Edit (2018-08-23): Since the existing answer is from 2014, I figured I'd serve it a fresh update... Microsoft now offers the DMA (Data Migration Assistant) to migrate SQL Server databases to Azure SQL.
You can learn more and download the free tool here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-migrate-your-sql-server-database
As of 9/2018, there is a new tool called the Data Migration Assistant that can help with the task of migrating an existing on-premise SQL Server Database to Azure. While the tool will NOT resolve the issue of migrating Windows Logins, it will at least help you get your database schema and data migrated up to Azure.
Here is the overview of the tool: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/dma/dma-overview?view=sql-server-2017
You can download the Data Migration Assistant here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53595
Once you have migrated your database up to Azure, you can configure an AD Administrator on the SQL Server, then create contained users in your database to allow users to login to your SQL Database with their Windows accounts.
I was wondering if someone could help. I have a SQL database hosted on a remote server (internet hosting company) and i want to sync my azure database.
any ideas how i could do this? eventually, i would like to transition over to sql azure.
thanks in advance.
i prefer using SQL Database Migration Wizard: http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ for one time migrations. it has the option to do some analysis to check for things that are not supported in Azure SQL Database.
