Azure SQL database unavaliable on management portal, but working - sql-server

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?

Azure App Service connecting to On-Premise SQL Server using Windows Authentication / Managed Identity

I have a website deployed to Azure App Service which connects to MS SQL Server 2019 database. There are two instances of the database for the 2 environments (UAT and Production). At the moment, the application connects to both databases using SQL Server Authentication and it's working fine. Note following:
The UAT version of database is on an on-premise MS SQL Server 2019 instance (but accessible to App Service through networking).
The Production version of database is on an MS SQL Server 2019 instance installed on an Azure VM (note, this is NOT an Azure SQL Database rather a normal SQL Server instance).
I want to modify my Azure App Service to get rid of SQL Server Authentication and connect to these SQL Servers using Windows Authentication (or a similar Authentication method). We do have Azure Active Directory setup and working properly.
Based on my research so far, Azure App Service can use Managed Identities to connect to an Azure SQL Database, but in my case the MS SQL Server instances are managed by us (UAT is on-premise, Production is installed on an Azure VM). Any ideas how can I achieve this for the 2 environments?
I can see a post from August last year (Does Azure Managed Identity support on-prem MS SQL Database?) which says it's not possible but I wanted to check if any progress has been made since then.

Cannot view tables on AWS RDS SQL Server Express

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.

Unable to deploy DB from local SQL Server

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.

Do you need to migrate SQL server 2008 to Azure SQL?

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.

Azure Tables and SQL Server Management Studio

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.
