How to Deploy a Database to Windows Azure
There are several different ways you can move an on-premises SQL Server database to Windows Azure. In this task, you'll use the Deploy Database to SQL Database wizard to upload a sample database.
The School sample database is conveniently simple; all of its objects are compatible with SQL Database, eliminating the need to modify or prepare a database for migration. As a new administrator, try deploying a simple database first to learn the steps before using your own databases.
Note: Review the SQL Database Migration Guide for detailed instructions on how to prepare an on-premises database for migration to Windows Azure. Also, consider downloading the Windows Azure Training Kit. It includes a lab that shows an alternative approach to migrating an on-premises database.

How to: Create the school database on an on-premises server
Scripts for creating this database can be found in the Getting Started with SQL Database Administration. In this guide, you'll run these scripts in Management Studio to create an on-premises version of the school database.
-
In Management Studio, connect to an on-premises server. Right-click Databases, click New Database, and enter school.
-
Right-click on school, click New Query.
-
Copy and then execute the Create Schema script from the tutorial.

You now have an on-premises database that you can export to Windows Azure. Next, you'll run a wizard that creates a .bacpac file, loads it onto Windows Azure, and imports it into SQL Database.
How to: Deploy to SQL Database
-
In Management Studio, connect to an on-premises SQL Server instance that has a database you want to migrate.
-
Right-click the school database that you just created, point to Tasks, and click Deploy Database to SQL Azure.
-
In Deployment Settings, enter a name for the database, such as school.
-
Click Connect.
-
In Server name, enter the 10-character server name, followed by .database.windows.net.
-
In Authentication, choose SQL Server Authentication.
-
Enter the administrator login name and password that you provisioned when creating the SQL Database logical server.
-
Click Options.
-
In Connection Properties, in Connect to database, type master.
-
Click Connect. This step concludes the connection specification and takes you back to the wizard.
-
Click Next and click Finish to run the wizard.
How to: Verify database deployment
-
In Management Studio, in Object Explorer refresh the databases to view the new one you just created.
-
Expand the Databases folder. You should see the school database in the list.
-
Right-click on the school database and click New Query.
-
Execute the following query to verify that data is accessible.
SELECT Course.Titleas"Course Title",Department.Nameas"Department",Person.LastNameas"Instructor",OnsiteCourse.Locationas"Location",OnsiteCourse.Daysas"Days",OnsiteCourse.Timeas"Time" FROM Course INNER JOIN Department ON Course.DepartmentID=Department.DepartmentID INNER JOIN CourseInstructor ON Course.CourseID=CourseInstructor.CourseID INNER JOIN Person ON CourseInstructor.PersonID=Person.PersonID INNER JOIN OnsiteCourse ON OnsiteCourse.CourseID=CourseInstructor.CourseID;
