SQL Azure - copy table between databases

Question

I am trying to run following SQL:

INSERT INTO Suppliers ( [SupplierID], [CompanyName]) 
Select  [SupplierID], [CompanyName] From [AlexDB]..Suppliers
<         


        

Answer 1

SQL-Azure does not support USE statement and effectively no cross-db queries. So the above query is bound to fail.

If you want to copy/backup the db to another sql azure db you can use the "Same-server" copying or "Cross-Server" copying in SQL-Azure. Refer this msdn article
