问题
I've got an older database, developed in VS2010, which I would like to move to SQL Azure.
I was hoping I could just upload the .sdf file to SQL Azure, but couldn't find a way to get that to work.
I can't seem to open the .sdf file in Management Studio 2008 (I get "Incompatible Database Version"), so the easy option of generating a script is not available.
Any quick and easy way to get this migration done?
回答1:
Your best bet is using SQL Server Compact & SQLite Toolbox, it's a Visual Studio Add-in
- In Visual Studio (I'm using 2012) go to Tools > Extensions and Updates
- Search online for "SQL Server Compact & SQLite Toolbox" and install it.
You will have to restart Visual Studio after install.
- Open your solution containing the .sdf file
- Connect to your SQL CE database (Your SQL CE database is probably already under Data Connections)
- Select it
- Click on the (new) icon for SQL Server Compact & SQLite Toolbox
- In the SQL Server Compact/SQLite Toolbox right click on the database you want to export
- Script Database > Script Database Schema and Data for SQL Azure
- Select all tables
- Save the script as a .sql file.
Run the script against your SQL Azure database If the data script is more than 50MB (which might be the usual case, you can run them with sqlcmd):
sqlcmd -U user_dbo -P password -S cloudserver -d Database -i c:\dataScript.sql -o c:\azuremigration.txt

Use my SQL Server Compact addin/ standalone app to generate a SQL Azure compatible script and run the script against the SQL Azure database
