My boss asked me to do some reports with SQL Azure Reporting. I'm quite new to this business, but I already did some reports with success on SSRS, but now I am facing some difficulties on how to setup the SQL Azure Reporting.
First, I tried to enter on Azure Portal and could not find the SQL Azure Reporting.
Am I doing this in the right way?
I already tried to do some research on Google, but I still get stucked on this.
My apologies if this question is too primary.
Thank you anyway.
The Azure SQL Database PaaS service does not have an embedded reporting tool. With that said, there are a few options for running SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS):
If you have an on-premises instance of SSRS, you can use your Azure SQL Database as a target and create reports
If you are looking to run everything in Azure, you can host an instance of SSRS in an Azure VM (IaaS). To accomplish this, there are two scenarios:
Provision an instance of SQL Server in an Azure VM and configure SSRS
Provision an instance of Windows Server in an VM Azure, "bring your own SQL Server license", and install SSRS in the VM.
If you're not bounded to SSRS, PowerBI (http://powerbi.com/) is great for authoring reports in the cloud.

I am trying to deploy a SQL Server database to Azure. In SSMS, I right click the database and choose Tasks > Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
This database isn't part of source control or anything, and in the properties, I selected compatibility level 140 (SQL Server 2017).
However, I keep getting the error below when deploying it. What am I doing wrong? I was able to deploy this exact database in the past without issues.
Please forget about SSMS for migrating databases to Azure SQL Database. Use Microsoft Data Migration Assistant for this task. This tool is the easiest way to migrate to Azure SQL Database. It performs an assessment first, then it migrates your databases to Azure.
I am trying to migrate On-premises SQL Server to Azure VM.
I am writing in reference to below link
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-migrate-onpremises-database/#azure-vm-deployment-wizard-tutorial
I am having multiple applications in which few are hosted in Azure and few are On-premises.
All these applications contact on-premise SQL Server for data manipulations.
In some scenario these applications creates dynamic SQL Agent Jobs!
Now my requirement is to move on-premise SQL Server to Azure cloud. I would like to know how can I manage these dynamic SQL Agents in Azure?
In short, My question is: how can I migrate below items?
SSIS packages associated with these databases
SQL Agent Jobs scheduled in server (created dynamically)
File Stream associated with server databases
Also I am planning to use SQL Server "AlwaysOn" offering. So how to synch these SQL Agent Jobs in these shared Virtual Machines?
I was referring https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-general-limitations/ and it says as follow
Microsoft Azure SQL Database does not support SQL Server Agent or
jobs. You can, however, run SQL Server Agent on your on-premises SQL
Server and connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
SQL Agents can be dynamically created as shown here https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3052/simple-way-to-create-a-sql-server-job-using-tsql/ My question is, will these stored procedures run in azure cloud?
Update
It’s challenge but can be done. We need to setup new Job, which constantly monitors and pull the current role of the replica, based on PRIMARY role, we run the job needs to do if it is the primary.
Below link gives me hint
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/45137/sql-server-agent-jobs-and-availability-groups but I am looking for step by step blog/article to achieve this.
My organisation is looking to create a cloud database which can be queried by customers and managed/accessed by 5-6 people within the organisation, to supercede an old rusty access database.
Currently we are familiar with the environment of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and have transferred most of our information into a local SQL Server.
Having researched cloud server options online, Amazon RDS for SQL Server seemed to be a good contender but Google Cloud SQL Server seems cheaper for a database of our (really rather small) database.
The question is: can we still use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to administer and update our database on Google Cloud? Apparently Google Cloud works like MySQL, which is different from the SQL Server as Microsoft uses as I understand it?
Any insights/experiences much appreciated!
Google Cloud SQL offers MySQL database only. Microsoft SQL server management tools will not work with it. If you're tied to SQL server, Microsoft Azure might be a better option.
I am currently learning Azure. In terms of data store, I see Azure SQL and the migration tool. If you have SQL server 2008 or Oracle, would you be required to migrate in order to use Azure?
I know you can access/query the Azure datastore via web browser or azure tools. Is there anything equivalent to working locally (or setting up local azure sql db)?
Azure is a platform with various components. you can opt to migrate your database to Azure SQL Database, run a Azure VM with either Oracle or SQL Server, or retain your current databases on-premise and make use of VPNs to connect your on-premise databases and your Azure-based application.
There is no emulator for Azure SQL Database. for local development, you can point it to as SQL Express, LocalDB or SQL Server.
HI,
I want to migrate the existing application using sql server 2005 database to windows azure and sql azure.
We has access to the Azure developer portals: Windows Azure ,Microsoft SQL Azure and AppFabric
Is there any documentation to help the migration of existing web application to windows azure and migration of the sql server 2005 database to sql azure and integrating them.
Regards,
Pravin
If your app is "just" managed code and SQL 2005, then the migration can be quite straightforward.
There are a few "gotcha's" in SQL (a few missing items from SQL Azure) but overall 80% of the move can be quite pleasant :)
These's quite a lot of information available on migration from Microsoft - articles like http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff872379.aspx
I'd recommend you start with just a few "Hello World" experiments to get familiar with the tools, then try moving bits of your platform across.
