I have ms sql server .backpack file from my cloud provider1 and can successfully import it to my local server to new db via databases -> Import Data-tier Application. OK, file is correct.
When i try to import this file to another remote sql server (my cloud provider2) to existing database i've got an error:
The database 'abc1234567' already exists on the target instance of SQL
Server. Specify a database name that does not already exist.
Both my providers have special webpanel to create database, so i can't specify non-existing database. :(
Neither SSMS, not SqlPackage.exe Import allow me to use existing database. :(
Is there any way to import this backpack to existing database? (Maybe, 3rd party tools?)
Configuration:
Provider1 has Server 2008 R2 RTM (db compability level = 100)
Provider2 has Microsoft SQL Server 2016
My local SSMS is from MS SQL 2017
The only way i see is restore to local db, allow xp_cmdshell then use bcp.exe in out

Can any one guide me there.
Actually we have Azure SQL Management instance I got a backup but I cannot restore our VM SQL Server owing this has a SQL Server version less SQL Azure (Azure Team updated SQL Server a couples week ago), so We cannot update QA Server to last SQL Server Version and we need to recovery the backup a soon a possible.
Do you know any way to recover this backup from SQL Azure to this server getting a less version?
Thank you!
You can also use bcp to export the data from Azure SQL Database and then use bcp again or Import/Export Wizard or SSIS to import the data on the SQL Server VM.
You can use Azure Data Factory (ADF) to export tables to your SQL Server VM. ADF will create those tables and copy the data.
I have been creating an application in visual studio using a local database in a .mdf (SQL Server) database file. Recently, I created an Azure account and want to export the local database (with its structure and data) so that I can use it from Azure to allow for online connections. Visual Studio doesn't seem to export the create scripts for the tables (including the table data). Really strange how there's no standard way of achieving this. Visual Studio should have a database exporting tool.
You can export the database as a BACPAC file, which includes both schema and data, and then import into Azure SQL Database. This can be done from the SSMS GUI, sqlpackage.exe CLI, or PowerShell. See these steps to export a database. The BACPAC can be similarly imported into your Azure SQL Database.
Another method is the Data Migration Assistant. See this MDA walkthrough. That tool also checks for compatibility issues during the process. Remember that to connect to a local database managed by Microsoft SQL Server, the name of the local server will be akin to: "(localdb)\V13.0". You will have to change the "V13.0" part to match the SQL Server version you are running. V13.0 Corresponds to Microsoft SQL Server 2017.
I am trying to use a Database in SQL Azure. I have installed SQL Server 2008. I can Login SQL Azure and can use master Database. But I can't use other Database and I can't see any things in my object explorer. It shows this error:
"USE statement is not supported to switch between databases. Use a new connection to connect to a different Database."
How can I use another database?
You cannot link to another database server from SQL Azure, whether that other database is SQL Server or SQL Azure.
I found the Solution for this problem . I install SQL Server 2008 R2. then every thing is ok...
You can first create only the database before running the whole script to create schemas & Tables.
Then manually change the database to the new DB that was created.
Run the rest of the script. Do not run Use <databasename>
I have a .mdf which I need to import into MS Access. I have read that .mdf is a Sql Server format so Access wont recognize it. But is there some way I can get the database created in MS Access. I am using Access 2003 and Sql Server 2005
Why not right click the database in SQL Management Studio, click export and then specify the required parameter?
I just checked. Works in my installation of SQL Server 2008.
You could create a new Access database and import the tables from the mdf file into it. You have not mentioned the version of Access or SQL server so it's difficult to be more specific.
Alternatively, if you have access to an SQL Server, you can export the database as an Access .mdb.
