I'm new to microsoft Azure. I Had a Production Database .I am facing few issues
for Eg: XYZ Which will reference from 2 Other Databases.while Creating BACPAC file I'm Getting Error reference is not Allowed
How can I Overcome with The Issue.your Help will Appreciated.
SQLAZURE is database as a service,so you are actually working with only database and it is not connected to any other database,but all the databases are grouped under one logical server for administrative purpose
In your case, you will have to remove all the references from other servers or other databases..
Few more options..
1.You can use SQLSERVER in a VM
2.you can use elastic query
There is one more new service called SQLAZURE managed instance which will be in public preview during this years Microsoft Ignite.This service has all the capabilties of SQLAZURE(Like automatic backups,HA..) and also all the features of an OnPremise server like SQLAGENT,linked servers,clr...
To start with elastci query,below is one easy place to start

Apparently, using AttachDbFilename and user instance in your connection string is a bad way to connect to a DB. I'm using SQL server express on my local machine and it all seems to work fine. But what's the proper way to connect to SQL server then?
Thanks for your explanation.
Using User Instance means that SQL Server is creating a special copy of that database file for use by your program. If you have two different programs using that same connection string, they get two entirely different copies of the database. This leads to a lot of confusion, as people will test updating data with their program, then connect to a different copy of their database in Management Studio, and complain that their update isn't working. This sends them through a flawed series of wild goose chase steps trying to troubleshoot the wrong problem.
This article goes into more depth about how to use this feature, but heed the very first note: the User Instance feature has been deprecated. In SQL Server 2012, the preferred alternatives are (in this order, IMHO):
Create or attach your database to a real instance of SQL Server. Your connection string will then just need to specify the instance name, the database name, and credentials. There will be no mixup as Management Studio, Visual Studio and your program(s) will all be connecting to a single copy of the database.
Use a container for local development. Here's a great starter video by Anna Hoffman and Anthony Nocentino, and I have some other resources here, here, and here. If you're on an M1 Mac, you won't be able to use a full-blown SQL Server instance, but you can use Azure SQL Edge if you can get by with most SQL Server functionality (the omissions are enumerated here).
Use SqlLocalDb for local development. I believe I pointed you to this article yesterday: "Getting Started with SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB."
Use SQL Server Compact. I like this option the least because the functionality and syntax is not the same - so it's not necessarily going to provide you with all the functionality you're ultimately going to want to deploy. Compact Edition is also deprecated, so there's that.
Of course if you are using a version < SQL Server 2012, SqlLocalDb is not an option - so you should be creating a real database and using that consistently. I only mention the Compact option for completeness - I think that can be almost as bad an idea as using AttachDbFileName.
EDIT: I've blogged about this here:
Bad Habits : Using AttachDBFileName
In case someone had the problem.
When attaching the database with a connection string containing AttachDBFile
with SQLEXPRESS, I noticed this connection was exclusive to the ASP.NET application that was using the database. The connection did block the access to all other processes on the file level when made with System.Data.SqlClient as provider.
In order to assure the connection to be shareable with other processes
instead use DataBase to specify the database name in your connection string
Example or connection string :
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;DataBase=PlaCliGen;User ID=XXX;password=ZZZ; Connect Timeout=30
,where PlaCliGen is the name (or logical name) by which SQLEXPRESS server knows the database.
By connecting to the data base with AttachDBFile giving the path to the .mdf file
(namely : replacing DataBase = PlacliGen by AttachDBFile = c:\vs\placligen\app_data\placligen.mdf) the File was connected exclusively and no other process could connect to the database.
Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. Very new to databases so apologies ahead of time if I don't provide enough info.
I have a Microsoft SQL Server Database created with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18, I connected Excel to it to analyse the data and saved that workbook in a shared One Drive folder. Works fine on my computer but the other users cannot refresh the data from the database. I've exhausted all my online search options to figure out how to fix this. I don't know if the database is on a cloud server or if that matters.
Error message is; [Datasource.Error] Microsoft SQL: A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider; SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
The database does allow for remote connections, I checked that.
I'm comfortable with Excel but I'm new to databases, only worked with Access in the past. Anyone know of the "best" way to have a database we can all (4 users currently) connect to while also connecting Excel to it.
I don't understand the pricing plans for Azure, AWS etc. plus they seem to be way more than what I need.
Doesn't have to be a free option but a set monthly fee with no surprises would work if a server is the issue. It's a relatively small amount of data, currently maybe 100 rows, 24 columns.
The option I last came across was Godaddy web hosting had a database option, don't if this is a good option or not. I signed up for Elephantsql but I haven't figured out how to use that to host the database, creating one in elephant itself seems to use only code rather than the way I created the database in Microsoft.
Thanks in advance for any help, going to go close my 25 google search tabs now.....
Kevin
do you realy need an SQL-Server for dataset auf 100 rows and 24 columns?
I would try do store the date in a shared Excel-File in Onedrive an connect to this.
Best regards
Chris
EDIT
If you want to connect to Private-OneDrive File you should use a WEB-Connector instead of a "File"-Connector.
Your Source should be like this:
=Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents("https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=AAAXXXXAAA&authkey=BBBXXXXBBB&em=CCCXXXXCCC&app=Excel"), null, true)
You have to replace the AAAXXXXAAAA; BBBXXXXBBB and CCCXXXXCCC with informations from the embedded-link of your XLSX-File:
1) open OneDrive in WEB
2) Select you file and right-click
3) click "embedded"
4) in the right pane you find the embedded-link
5) find there the resid; authkey and em
OneDrive GetEmbeddedLink
I'm using the AWS Toolkit in Visual Studio 2013 to attempt to launch a new instance on Amazon RDS. I get through the wizard for creating the new instance and after clicking finish, there is a delay, and then a message appears saying:
Error launching DB instance: DB Security Groups can only be associated with VPC DB Instances using API version 2012-01-15 through 2012-09-17.
Launching different types of instances (SQL Server SE vs MySQL) doesn't seem to help, nor does selecting different versions of the platforms (SQL Server 2008 vs 2012). The only thing that gets it to go through is unchecking the box for "default" in the DB Security Groups area. However, I feel like something is going on here that shouldn't be happening.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can resolve it other than by not setting a default security group? Thank you.
If you created your AWS account recently, you will be using a VPC by default.
It sounds like the API the plugin is trying to use hasn't been updated. The latest version is 1.5.6, and looking at the history it seems like some of these features were added in 1.5.0.
I finally solved it! Since I couldn't use the API that the VS 2013 plugin uses, I had to manually add my IP to the Security Group created for my Elastic Beanstalk.
Go to the console, ec2's security groups configuration
Find the one which description matches your Beanstalk (e.g.: Security Group created for Beanstalk Environment to give access to RDS instances)
Hit Inbound, Edit and add a new rule for All Traffic (I guess HTTP should be enough, but just in case).
In Source, select My IP and Save.
I have recently discovered that ASP.NET MVC 4 uses SimpleMembership rather than the traditional ASP.NET Membership provider.
I am looking to use SimpleMembership but I also wish to use an Sql Server express database (I will be using a 'real' Sql Server db later on).
I am used to using aspnet_regsql to setup my sql server databases for application services and therefore inserting the necessary membership tables.
However, this application will not setup a DB to work with SimpleMembership.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
You will need to comment out the WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection line of code (otherwise the first time you reach the login form the application will attempt to create the simple membership tables on the defined web.config connection string).
Then you will need to update your account controller code since its was written for simpleMembership use to reflect your chosen membership provider.
Recently I did this by creating an MVC3 project then upgrading it to MVC4 (read the how to upgrade mvc3 to mvc4 section). Not the cleanest but it did prevent me from having to update the account controllers code.
I would recommend to look into InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute, which is in the folder "Filters"
There is a command to initialize the database. It checks itself, if the tables are already created.
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("connStringName", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
The tables are:
UserProfile => in my case, because of the initializer
webpages_OAuthMembership
webpages_Membership
webpages_OAuthToken
webpages_Roles
webpages_UsersInRoles
You can check out the source-code of the aspnetwebstack project
I'm using SSEUtil to automatically create a functional test database from the schema derived from my development database (SQL Server 2008 R2) as part of my build process. This allows me to keep the two databases in-sync (schema-wise) without running SQL repository tests against my development database.
I recently added a full text index to a table for the first time for this project in my development schema and now when I attempt to apply the schema to a newly created unit test database I get the following error when it executes the SQL to create the full text catalog:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [FullTextCatalog] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
GO
Cannot use full-text search in user instance.
[SqlException Number 9982, Class 16, State 100, Line 1]
I've searched high and low. The only help I found was on another site where someone suggested "attaching to the parent database." I have no idea what that means. And I have no idea what this error means. What is a "user instance"?
Can anyone suggest a way around this? Is there a better way to keep two database schemas in-sync for continuous integration?
Either
User must have CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG permission on the database, or be a member of the db_owner, or db_ddladmin fixed database roles.
or
you won’t be able to use full text catalogues if the SQL instance does not have it installed. Make sure the SQL server instance has the full text service running.
Here are two ways of testing whether this feature installed or not. This feature is available for all editions of SQL Server 2005 and 2008 (including SQL Express)
Check the services applet (run -> type 'services.msc') for this entry :
SQL Server FullText Search Or SQL Server FullText Search (SQLEXPRESS) (in case of SQL Express). Start this service of not running
Run the query "select fulltextserviceproperty('isfulltextinstalled')" in the Query analyzer. if the result is '1' then it is installed else not.
In the case of unavailability of this feature, you need to install by downloading the "SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE" from http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/default.aspx

This is not really an answer to the question, but I came upon a similar issue with visual studio package manager when updating an entity framework code-first database (command update-database).
The problem was that I selected the wrong start-up project, and therefore visual studio was not using my connection string at all. It was connecting to a localdb instance, hence the cryptic error message "cannot use full text search in user instance". Once I made it connect to the actual database, it worked as expected.
I also came across this user instance issue. I have to admit that I only have basic knowledge of SSMS. Apparently I'm logged as the public user. How can I be a member of db_owner? I try to generate and script everything without using the GUI.
For example, if I execute this
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[dbname] TO sa;
EXEC sp_changedbowner 'sa';
I still get the Cannot use full-text search in user instance error with
USE [dbname]
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [ftc_dbname] AS DEFAULT
GO
