I have 10TB of ms sql data on premise. I want to migrate the data from on premise to the azure ms sql server without any downtime. Please help me or suggest me how to do that. Is it possible to migrate that much data using the transactional data migration. If is there any other tool to do that please also suggest. Thanks in advance.
Microsoft has a service where you ship them physical media and they upload it to the azure servers. Probably the best thing to do for such a large dataset.

I have a requirement which needs me to write code for a data passer that would do pass data from sybase to mysql. I really don't have much experience in this field but would love to try it out. When i googled i found many articles on data migration from sybase to microsoft sql server, but that is not what i need. I need to be able to pass data from the sybase server to microsoft sql server every night for further data manipulation. There are two sites one which uses sybase and the other one uses microsoft sql, we can't do a db migration from sybase to microsoft sql as the application running at that site depends on it. Therefore the only way is to pass data from sybase to sql. So it would be very helpful if someone could shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for whatever suggestion that you have.. :)
I need to use replication between my databases. But me hosting provides only Web Edition of SQL Server. In web edition replication is not supported. May be anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks
If you are savvy with programming then you can accomplish a very slim form of replication through code. If not, you might be out of luck.
You can have DML triggers on your tables that you would normally have as articles for replication, and when the data changes log it to a table with the necessary information. Then have a scheduled task that runs an application to push those changes to the logical subscriber(s). Just an idea, but it looks like you may have to get creative.
I was wondering if anybody had any good ideas for managing a Securities database? Currently the db is an Access db and there is talk of migrating it to a SQL server. However, does anybody know of a good front-end UI that would help non-technical people query the SQL server that holds Securities information?
If there are already UI forms in Access, you can keep them. Move the data to SQL-Server and have the Access database link to the tables in SQL-Server. Of course, you could also build a web-based interface, a desktop app, etc...
I'm using SQL Azure on a project and it works great. The problem is that the usual backup features do not exist. I have exported the database a couple of times using SQLAzureMW ( http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ ) but this tool is now choking trying to download the database data with bcp. In any case, it's not as nice a solution as SQL Server backups.
Is anyone aware of a commercial or open source tool, or other technique, for making reliable backups of SQL Azure databases? This is really a showstopper.
Starting with update 4, SQL Azure now supports database copies. You can make a copy of your database, kept in Azure, and use that to retrieve data in the event of an accidental deletion or schema bugaboo:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff951624.aspx
It's still up to you to get that database off Azure and onto your own local SQL Server, though, but at least you've got a mechanism for making a point-in-time copy.
Microsoft takes care of the backups for you. There is no reason to back up SQL Azure databases yourself.
Yes, we had the same problem and couldn't find any good/simple solutions, so we cobbled together a solution using Red Gate: http://mooneyblog.mmdbsolutions.com/index.php/2011/01/11/simple-database-backups-with-sql-azure
SQL Azure will support PIT (Point in time) backup/restore (mainly restore) later this year (2011), CTP in summer. There is some (little) preliminary info here info here.

Most of the SQL Server 2008 samples are shared here:

It may have the database you are looking for.
