I am trying to export Sql Azure table to CSV. When I right click on Database I see Tasks / Export Datatier application. Where Can I see the option to export data to csv from Sql Azure?
If you are using Windows 10 and have SSMS and the Client tools, you should be able to just go to the search window and type 'Import and Export Data' to find the Import and Export Data program (which is basically the SQL Server Export Wizard).
For some reason the choice doesn't show up in SSMS for Azure databases - but you can run the wizard as the stand alone app - and it works fine with Azure databases. More detail at: http://bpmdeveloper.com/sql-server-export-wizard-csv/
Here are two straight forward solutions if you are okay with pulling the csv to your working environment:
Use SSMS to query your data with quoted column names, then right click in the results window, and click 'save results as'.
The same process can be followed with Azure Data Studio, but instead of right clicking, you can click the 'save as csv' button to the right of the query results.

I am trying to export data around 30 GB from SQL server table in bacpac format ,using Export Data-Tier Application in SSMS 2017 version .
It's still in progress since last 3 hours and at step "Exporting data from database". Is there any way where I can check detail status of export simultaneously while export is going on ?
I need to check like how many rows it has processed till now or how much data exported till now etc?
Can someone please help me on this ?
I'm trying to migrate one of my database in my local environment to Azure from SQL server management studio, but i'm facing with the following exception.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks
Steps I have followed:
From SQL Server Management Studio, Database -> Tasks --> Deploy database to Windows Azure SQL Database
I'm able to connect to the Azure SQL instance
During the process i'm getting the following error, as in the snapshot.
PFB the snapshot of my local and azure SQL server instances,
Right click on the DB you are trying to copy, select "Generate scripts..." to open the "generate and Publish Scripts" wizard.
Click Next or "Choose Objects" from the navigation pane to the left. On the "Choose Objects" step you may want to select the specific tables/sprocs you want to copy, or you can just choose "Script entire database"
On the next page, I recommend selecting the "Save to a New Query Window" option. Then click "Advanced" in the top right corner and scroll to the bottom of the "General" section. The last item in this section is "Type of data to script". You will probably want to change this to "Schema and data" if you want to include the data in your script.
Click Next until it starts to generate the script. When the script is done, it will open a new query window with CREATE / INSERT statements and when you Execute, it will create a copy of your DB. HOWEVER, you will need to update the USE [MyDatabase] statement and you will need to change the "Available Databases" dropdown to the desired Database (i'm talking about the dropdown box above the Object Explorer)
You can use the following methods:
-dacpac
-In Visual Studio -> Tools - SQL Server - SQL Schema comparison & data comparison
Check in the settings windows - use incompatible platforms
You received that error because the version of SSMS you're using is old. Installing the latest version of SSMS will get things working better.
I'm using forms authentication to handle users and attempting to deploy my database to SQL Azure, but getting this error message:
The only table of the four listed that I utilize is aspnet_Membership, and the only other table I use is aspnet_Users from implementing forms authentication. What is TextInRowSize and why does SQL Azure care about it? Do I have any option to modify aspnet_Membership to make it compatible?
If it would be easier to remove the current system altogether and replace it with my own, I'm fine with that too.
That looks like an error in the data-tier application framework. I can suggest a workaround to get your database to Azure:
Use SqlPackage.exe (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx) from the command line to extract a dacpac file with all table data. Then use SqlPackage.exe to deploy that dacpac file to your database in Azure. The extract command would look something like:
C:\>"c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /a:extract /scs:"Data Source=yourSqlServer;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=yourDatabase" /tf:C:\temp\mydatabase.dacpac /p:ExtractAllTableData=true
And the import command would look something like:
C:\>"c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /a:publish /tcs:"Data Source=yourAzureSQLServer.database.windows.net;User Id=yourUserId;Password=yourPassword;Initial Catalog=yourDatabase" /sf:C:\temp\mydatabase.dacpac
So quick suggestions since I see you are using V12 which should support those properties now.
First make sure you are using SSMS 2014 SP1 at least, this has a number of fixes for using V12. Secondly make sure you install the May 2015 update to DacFX (which is the program that creates bacpac files) you can install it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46898
This should get you to the best possible chance of your import/export working.
This was solved by generating a SQL Azure script for the DB, and running it on Azure. Here's how I solved it:
First, open SQL Server, right click the database you want to transfer and click "Tasks > Generate Scripts..."
Next, click "Advanced" on the scripting options panel and find the row "Script for the database engine type." Select "Windows Azure SQL Database" and click OK (Note: if you have data that you want to transfer as well, choose "Schema and Data" from the "Types of data to script" option).
Proceed thru the rest of the script generation dialog, remembering where you saved the script file. Connect to your database server using SQL Server or windowsazure.com. Generate a new query for your new database, enter the script that was generated by SQL Server and execute.
Seems like TextInRowSize stores large data for older SQL Server types such as text and ntext. You would need to change it's type to nvarchar(max).
Here's a link to a more detailed explanation.

I want to export Sql Server 2008 table objects into MS Access database . I try to find it but not got any perfect way to solve the given problem. Please suggest what should i do.
You can do in from Import Wizard from an MS Access file
Create a MS Access database.
Go to the External Data tab Import & link Section.
Make an ODBC Database connection with SQL database
Import tables(consider excluding schema and system tables if you do not need them)
follow this step to export to ms acess:
Right click on your database -> Task -> Export Data
Choose your data source and database
Click on next choose your destination database in destination combo select ms Access Database select file of Access
database
Click next: copy data from tables or views...
Click next: select all tables
Click next
Click finish
Username & password must be blank
I would like to achieve a database export (dump) in SQL Server from one server and import that dump in another SQL Server and not necessarily in the same schema name.
For example if I have a database prepared with all the data set for implement a new DB for a new customer, that db is for example named DB_EMPTY
And then I have to setup the same DB on some external server for a customer for example in the schema DB_MY_CUSTOMER
What is the best/simplest way to export (dump) a DB_EMPTY, and import it in DB_MY_CUSTOMER?
Possibly with SQL Server Management Studio?
An easy way would be to use SQL Server Management Studio, in the Object Explorer right click on the database you want to export, select Tasks -> Back Up, then select a destination and file name in the Destination box at the bottom of the dialog. You can play around with the various settings, but you don't need to.
To restore it on another server is basically the opposite, choose Tasks -> Restore -> Database, in the dialog select From Device, then click the browse ellipsis, from there you get a browse dialog, click Add and then navigate to the back up file you created. You can change the databse name in the To database textbox, and control where the files get stored by going to the Options tab and altering the Restore As column entries in the table labelled as Restore the database files as:.
Just in case someone is ending here and noticing "Tasks -> Back up" option does not exists; on recent versions of SSMS ( v18 for example ), you'll need to use "Generate scripts" option and then on "Advanced" select "Schema and Data" on "Types of data to script".

This is called replication : http://databases.about.com/od/sqlserver/ht/distribution.htm
Try to look to the snapshot replication. It is configurable to determine the destination database.
