While creating Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly SQL DW) from Azure portal there is a option to attach backup, but I am confused which backup it is asking for. I created a export of Azure SQL database and it's getting detected while creating SQL database from Azure portal but same is not happening with Azure synapses service. In portal when I click on backup, it's not showing any suggestions as it was showing for SQL database. please let me know which and how to attach backup in Azure synapses from both portal and ARM.
This is because-
Azure SQL DB and Synapse Analytics are different services offering different storage solutions.
You need to have an existing backup of Azure SQL DW (now Synapse Analytics) to restore it into a new instance via Portal or ARM.

I have a SQL Server DB on-prem, lets call it xDB
I also have number of services that query the DB
now, I need to migrate xDB to Azure Paas without changing the code in the services (including connection string to the DBs)
I thought to migrate xDB to Azure and keep the on-prem xDB empty with only Synonyms to Azure xDB
does anyone know if it's possible, and if so, how to reference Synonym from on-prem to Azure SQL PaaS?
Restore database .bak file to azure elastic pool database from VM
How to restore database .bak file to azure elastic pool databases directly, I used the option "Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database" but every time creates a new database outside of the elastic pool.
We are looking for a solution to create a new database in an elastic pool only, any alternative methods we can achieve.
Azure SQL Database does not currently support that customers use bak file as a restore to generate a new database on Azure SQL Database. The only method used to restore in Azure SQL Database is to import from BACPAC files by following this document : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/database-import?tabs=azure-powershell.
So according to the situation, you use the option "Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database" then migrate the database to azure elastic pool. Regarding how to migrate it, please refer to https://www.fmsinc.com/microsoft-azure/sql-server/pooled/index.htm
When I use SQL server 2017 database tool to upload my database, I got this error.
When I generate .bacpac file by myself and upload to azure storage account, then import to azure sql server, I also get the same error.
This database is generated from my asp core project using Entity framework, I generate to sql server 2017 to add more performance update like: partition table, indexing table. After that, I upload this database to Azure cloud, then I get this error.
Please help me!
Please try to remove the login Admin at the database level before trying to migrate to Azure SQL Database again. Admin is not a valid login name you can use in Azure SQL Database.
I usually recommend users to use Azure Data Migration Assistant (DMA) to migrate a SQL Server database to Azure SQL Database, because it performs an assessment first and let you know things you need to fix prior to migrate to Azure SQL. Once all incompatibilities are fixed, DMA allows you to migrate with a couple of clicks.
I have a business scenario where web site and SQL database will be on cloud and after some operations want to save the cloud SQL data to the SQL database which is on-premises and not exposed to the internet.
What would be the best architecture for this scenario?
Need suggestions.
you can either setup a VNET to connect your Website to your on-premises SQL Server or you can configure Azure Hybrid Connect. (see this link)
If the website does not use local resources you can always go for azure websites. Choose the tier based on the requirement.
As far as the database is concerned you choose azure sql database. ( tier based on requirement-size and performance) . You can set up azure sql sync (in preview) to sync between sql azure and local sql server. Or you can take a back up of sql azure db - bacpac. and then restore it local sql server using sql management studio.
I am currently learning Azure. In terms of data store, I see Azure SQL and the migration tool. If you have SQL server 2008 or Oracle, would you be required to migrate in order to use Azure?
I know you can access/query the Azure datastore via web browser or azure tools. Is there anything equivalent to working locally (or setting up local azure sql db)?
Azure is a platform with various components. you can opt to migrate your database to Azure SQL Database, run a Azure VM with either Oracle or SQL Server, or retain your current databases on-premise and make use of VPNs to connect your on-premise databases and your Azure-based application.
There is no emulator for Azure SQL Database. for local development, you can point it to as SQL Express, LocalDB or SQL Server.
