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 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.
I installed SSRS into an Azure VM (IaaS). In the ssrs configuration manager, I tried the report server databases point to an Azure SQL Managed Instance database, but the connection didn't work. I would like to know if SSRS in an Azure VM support Report Server Databases as Azure SQL Database and/or Azure SQL MAnaged Instance. If it is supported, can you please share any documentation about that?
Thanks!
To my knowledge Report Server databases cannot be hosted on Azure SQL Database as I mentioned on this MSDN forum thread.
As long as I know, the Report Server database can be hosted on a Managed Instance and is mentioned by a Microsoft Data Platform MVP on this article. You won't find any official documentation on how to do this. This scenario makes little sense to me, because you will be paying money for a SQL VM and a Managed Instance. You will be paying SQL licenses for both. You save money if you have SSRS and its databases on the VM,
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:

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.
I have a SQL Azure Server (DBn), I need to copy some of the tables from (DBn) to number of other SQL Azure Servers (DBn1,DBn2,....). I should be able to execute the copy operation through a worker role. Is this possible via Linked server feature in SQL Azure?
that's a common misconception about the linked server support for Azure SQL Database.
you can setup Azure SQL Database as a linked server in SQL Server but you cannot setup a linked server from Azure SQL Database itself that links to other Azure SQL Database or SQL Server.
you can add an Azure SQL Database as linked server. you cannot add a linked server in Azure SQL Database.
You can use Windows Azure SQL Data Sync where you can perform synchronization between SQL Databases on Windows Azure as well as instances of SQL Server on-premisse
