tried creating a federation from using sql server management studio but got this weird error after executing the CREATE FEDERATION command.
here is the query and the error result after executing it.
I just hope someone has ran into this before.
Happy Coding..
Federations are no longer supported in Azure SQL Database. Depending on your application, consider putting each Federation member into its own dedicated database in an Elastic Pool, or sharding your data across a few databases. The different alternative application patterns with links to the feature documentation are discussed in more detail here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-design-patterns-multi-tenancy-saas-applications/.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I am trying to create a pipeline to copy some data between Azure SQL databases on different servers, but creating a Linked Service using SQL authentication fails (and gives no helpful information, just a dialog box saying it failed). I think that the server VMs are in different tenancies or different subscriptions (I am not sure of the distinction), so I am guessing that the one I am working in cannot see the one I want the connection to go to. Is that likely, and what needs to be done to make it work? Any advice welcome, including RTFM if you can point me at the right one and it doesn't take weeks to wade through it!
In case anyone hits the same issue: the problem turned out to be the 'encrypted' checkbox in the self-hosted integration runtime (IR). Clearing this flag allowed the IR to see the target database, and the pipeline could then be created with the new connection set to use that IR. #Leon Yue: both databases are Azure SQL instances on Azure PaaS VMs.
So I know that DQS isn't available in Azure, at least not yet. I was wondering though, is it possible to link an on-prem instance that holds the information to an Azure processing task and create a hybrid?
I just wondered if this has been tried/people knew if it could be before I tried anything myself.
Thanks
Azure Database for MySQL server is still in preview, though we can created database instance on it.
I wonder do we have any API to retrieve the databases that we created on Azure Database for MySQL server? API for metrics of those databases?
Same questions for Azure Database for PostgreSQL server. Thanks!

We have just released the REST API spec today. You can find it here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/mysql/
Here's the REST API reference to list all the databases under a server: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/mysql/databases#Databases_ListByServer
well, they obviously exist, but they are not publicly available yet. I don't see anything reasonable on the REST API reference page.
You may figure this out using the Azure portal + fiddler combo ;)
What do you mean retrieve the databases? You can connect to them in Visual Studio with your SQL server object explorer and entering the server name Azure gave you as the server. I don't know if I am understanding your question right? You can connect to the database just like any other SQL database using a SqlConnection.
EDIT:
I looked into it a little more:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-connect-query-dotnet-visual-studio
Essentially what I was saying. Provided you have successfully connected your SQL db to Azure you just access it like any other database. For PostgresSql, look into using NpgsqlConnection instead of SqlConnection. They have very similar functionality.
The use case is Distributed deployment of Web Application on Azure using PaaS. I read the Azure documentation on SQL Azure database geo-replication, and it seems none of the services tiers best fit this need. The other option is SQL Sync, which is in preview and cannot be used in production.It seems Microsoft Azure does not have any way for a redundant database centric application using PaaS model.
Please help how to resolve the issue or any alternate solution.

Both SQL Data Sync and Geo-replication are for database redundant using. But we need to know you detailed scenarios, so that we can say which one is more fit. Basically Geo-replication is DB level data synchronization used for DR. SQL Data Sync is Table level data synchronization used for reference data replication for both Azure DB and On-prem DB.
I have a prototype paas (platform as a service). The solution currently saves data for all customers in a single sql instance. For now this is fine, but I worry about slowdowns when the db grows. I reason I could keep the service running fast if each customer had their own database.
I was looking on the Azure portal and I found nothing. I can easily create a new database manually - but - I don't want that, I want to keep everything automated. Is there a way I can setup a sql server 'group' ?
While I am at it, SQL is not a requirement. My data is noSQL ready. Is this something I could do with monogoDB running on a worker role ? me.
You should look at the Azure DocumentDb preview, which is a NoSQL database provided as a managed service.
There is a Azure SQL Managment Nuget
