Integration services catalog - sql-server

I was trying to create integration catalog in 2018 SSMS as shown in some videos on youtube it is a easy process. But whenever I click on create SSISIR it takes me to another wizard SSIS in ADF configuration. Although I have an Azure subscription as well and created a database in Azure. But still I am not able to get catalog server end point in this wizard. Any help regarding this will be appreciated.

From SSMS, you can create the catalog locally or you can create a SSIS-IR on Azure. One is the on-premise story vs the other is cloud. which one do you prefer?
I guess you go the the cloud story.

SSRS Integration with Azure DevOps

I'm attempting to find a good read on how to connect our Azure DevOps reporting data that drives the reports within DevOps to our internal SSRS. Having not done this before, I'm curious if this is even possible or if I can just obtain a connection string/WebApi somewhere with a list of tables/JSON. The current reports offered by DevOps are not extensive enough for our need and we need to expand upon them and would prefer to do this in house.
Thank you.
The SQL Server reporting solution is based on a data warehouse and OLAP cube coupled with a SQL Server Reporting server to host reports.
Currently ,integration with the data warehouse and SQL Server
Reporting Services is only supported for on-premises Azure DevOps
Server 2019 and Team Foundation Server (TFS). If you don't have a
reporting site and want to add it, see Add reports to a project.
For information on what is supported for Azure DevOps Services, see Dashboards and reports overview.
This is stated in this official document, for details,please refer to it.
If you want to integrate SSRS with Azure DevOsp Service , it is currently unachievable . You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. In addition, you could also vote that suggestion ticket and share your comment there, so product team would provide the updates if they view it.

Looking for MANAGE button in Azure SQL Databases

I am being tasked at a new job with managing some SQL Server databases hosted in Microsoft Azure, however it appears that some changes have been made to Azure Web Interface and there is no longer a MANAGE button option shown for a specific database, can anyone explain what happened to this option, and how to bring it back in the Azure Web Interface?
Basically this option let me view the data in the columns of the database tables, that is what I am trying to do.
The "manage" button you are referring to was removed for the latest generation of servers (v12) for Azure SQL Database. Using SSMS or Visual Studio is the recommended way to manage your servers going forward. However, if you really want the old web management portal you will need to create your SQL Database on a v11 server. You can do this in the portal in the new server blade by setting Create V12 server to "No".

Upload a sql database to Azure

Sorry about the newb question I'm new to Azure.
I've created a new (free) 20mb database in the azure portal which is fine. I'm trying to upload my website database using the 'Export to Azure' sql management studio function. However, instead syncing the DB over to the one I created in the portal it creates a new database. The new DB seems to support a minimum size of 100mb which is way to big for my requirements.
I would be grateful for any advise regarding the best way to proceed. I'm migrating the website in question to Azure, the database is quite small and basically I just need to copy it over and connect to it.
Thanks in advance.

You can use this tool to migrate data Microsoft data migrate assistant
You can download from here. it's very easy to use
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53595
there are some migrate mode you can use: ex from Sql to azure Sql like picture bellow
When migrate you can choose migrate schema and data and data only
There is a great tool in Visual Studio Community Edition (free) for comparing both schema and data between two databases on different servers. It can then update the target database with any changes after which you can switch over to use the Azure DB.

Free SQL Server in Azure

I'm creating a MVC 5 web application with EF 6 Code first. Now it creates a database in the App_Data folder. I want to publish the website to an Azure website. Because this is only the test version of the website, I don't want to pay for it. It will only visited a couple of times a month until it is in production.
Is it possible to run the database something like an access database file? I thought that some kind of functionality existed. I thought the name was SQL Server Compact Edition? But how does it works?
I also thought that you could create a free 20MB sql server database. See this link of the pricing page. Search for 20 in your browser.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/web-sites/
I don't see that option.
Any ideas would be welcome!
Yes, you just have to right click and include in your project.
I write an article for this in Chinese, and this is the English version I found.
Solution for free SQL Server in Azure:
Install two nuget: EntityFrame.SqlServerCompact & Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition
Put SQL database file (.sdf/.mdf) in APP_Data folder
Put connection string like this to use it:
<add name ="DefaultConnection" connectionString ="Data Source=|DataDirectory|CompactDB.sdf" providerName ="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
Publish full project include above SQL database file to AzureWebsites.
It work well and is totally free.
I found the 20Mb free SQL Server option. I still had a website in my subscription that was stopped. When I deleted that, no website or database was there in my subscription anymore. I then created a new website via the custom website option in the azure portal. I then could select (in the wizard) a free 20 MB SQL Server database.
I uploaded my MVC application and the Code First created my database automatically. I don't know why the option wasn't showing up before but now it works.
There's no free version of the SQL Database service. What you may have read is that there's a 1 year free 20MB MySQL database available.
When you're saying that a database it created in the App_Data folder, this uses SQL Server Compact (see Maresh's links) and that is free.
If you want to connect on premise database you need to setup azure virtual network. See the codeproject article
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/261063/Azure-Virtual-Network-Connecting-Local-Database
there is some alternative way using azure service bus.
http://www.bradygaster.com/post/windowsazurewebsites-onprem-servicebus
Another option would be sql server compact edition.

Browsing an Entity Framework code-first database + Azure Dev Fabric

I have a database created using the code-first approach against SQL Server Express. I'm trying to view the database in Management Studio, but cannot find the database. VS Database Explorer also cannot seem to find it.
I've searched about but cannot find any reference to what I'm after. Is it possible to browse a database running in the dev fabric?
Usually if we create a new database in Visual Studio, it will give us a database file, but it won’t register the database in SQL Server Management Studio. So please manually attach the database file to SQL Server Management Studio. First please find the database file, normally it is under the AppData folder of our project. Then I would like to suggest you to check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190209.aspx for instructions on how to attach the database.
Best Regards,
Ming Xu.
Take a look at Scott Gu's blog post on EF Code First and DB Generation: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/16/code-first-development-with-entity-framework-4.aspx
The Azure Dev Fabric has nothing to do with the DB layer, the connection string handles all this for you i.e. when you deploy to SQL Azure your DB will go there, the only thing that needs changed is the connection string...from localhost (Dev Machine) to SQL Azure connectionn string
