I'm really new at Azure, but want to learn it. I'm going through a
tutorial on it. In the tutorial when I get to the point of actually getting my SQL database into Azure it says I'm to choose either Blank database, a sample database or use a backup. I don't want a blank database because I have an existing database on my
machine. Same thing for a sample database as that's wrong. So I thought choosing using a backup would work. I backed up my SQL database, but couldn't find a way to get it into the Azure. Only, I couldn't find a way.
So I asked around trying to find a way. I was directed to another MSDN article titled
How to Export an On-Premises SQL Server Database to Windows Azure Storage. However, this article talks about putting SQL into a VM in Azure. I'm not trying to do that, I'm trying to use SQL in an Azure SQL Database logical server, not a VM. But will this
article on exporting an on-premises SQL Server database to Azure Storage still work?
Or should I abandon all of this stuff of using a my own database and find some way of making a "sample" of own database?
I confess I'm getting a little perturbed by this. The first article I referenced uses the phrase of getting your local database into Azure in a matter of minutes. This is taking me many days and I
still don't have my database in Azure.
