I have an AWS RDS sql-micro instance running SQL Server Express. I have been able to successfully connect to the database using both Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (PC) and RazorSQL (Mac). I would like to view and update records but none of the tables are visible.
Under the 'Tables' folder I can see a 'System Tables' folder and a 'FileTables' folder, both are empty.
I suspect this may be a SQL permissions issue with my user account, but I'm not too familiar with AWS RDS or SQL Server Express.
I don't think this has anything to do with AWS Permissions. Check if the SQL Server user you are using has the correct permissions.

I want to migrate SQL Server logins to Azure SQL.
I tried using SQL Server Integration Service "Transfer Logins Links" but it throws "Keyword or statement option 'default_database' is not supported in this version of SQL Server."
create a user in master database and set new password for the login.
No matter which ways migrate SQL Server to Azure SQL(single database), DMA or DMS, they all don't support migrate the logins or uses.
We must re-create the logins/users manually in the new Azure SQL database. There isn't a way can achieve that for now.
If you migrate SQL Server to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines(managed instance), you can reference this documnet: Migrate SQL Server logins with Data Migration Assistant.
Hope this helps.
I have created a new database instance of SQL Server in Amazon Web Services RDS. I have connected to it using SQL Server Management Studio from my computer.
Now I want to restore adventureworks.bak database which is present on my computer. But the problem is that I cannot select the file (adventure.bak) from my computer as it only allows me to select file paths where the database is stored on the AWS instance.
I have also tried the option restore from S3, but is only showing option to restore amazon aurora and mysql database but not SQL Server database.
Is there any way to restore the database from that file? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to restore a database backup to an MS SQL Server hosted on RDS, you need to follow the steps detailed in the RDS Native Backup and Restore docs:
Upload your adventure.bak file to an S3 bucket
Create an IAM Role that grants your RDS database access to that S3 bucket
Call the rds_restore_database stored procedure from within SQL Server Management Studio and provide the parameters #restore_db_name (the database name to restore to) and #s3_arn_to_restore_from, the S3 ARN of the adventure.bak file.
See the documentation for step-by-step instructions.
I created a db on my server on azure, and it works well, and can be managed with sql server management studio, and the related website also works well, but on the management portal, the database is unavaliable. It appears on the list of databases under the server.
I deployed the database from my local server with ssms.
Muller, are you still able to interact with your database via the Azure portal?
I'm trying to export a DB from my local SQL Server to Azure SQL.
So far I've tried
Tasks > Deploy Database to Windows Azure SQL Database
I then connect to the Azure DB, give the new DB a name and then let it run.
However, it fails with the message
A project which specifies Microsoft Azure SQL Database v12 (Preview) as the target platform cannot be published to Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
Having followed this page, I'm pretty sure that I have the latest of whatever I need on my local.
So what am I missing? How do I get a DB from a local instance of SQL Server to Azure SQL?
Although there are several means to upload a local DB to Azure, I found that all but one of these fails with the same error message.
The one which worked is the SQL Database Migration Wizard.
Is there a way to view Azure Tables form SQL Server Management Studio or some similar tool?
You can install the Nov CTP of SQL Server 2008 . The SSMS supports connecting to Azure like connecting to any other on-premise database.
You could also try this tool - http://hanssens.org/tools/sqlazuremanager/
Another option is http://onlinedemo.cerebrata.com/sqlazureclient/ a tool by Cerebrata.
As Joannes mentioned, it's unclear whether you are looking to browse SQL Azure or Azure Table Storage.
If it's SQL Azure you're asking about, then it's an easy answer: Yes. Simply go to your SQL Azure account online and grab the server name (.database.windows.net), and use that from SQL Server Management Studio when connecting to your database. Specify your admin username and password, and you're off and running.
If you're talking about viewing Azure Table storage, there are a few tools floating around. The most current seems to be the Azure Storage Explorer on CodePlex. It'll let you view all of your Azure tables, and edit text blobs.
