Im a beginner that is thrying to setup my first website in Windows Azure. I have published it and made a Sql database inside Windows Azure.
In my local virtual machine I have SQL management studio that contain a User profile database. Is there a way to export that one and import to Azure?
You can deploy it directly from SSMS. Right click a database in the Object Explorer pane select Tasks - > Deploy database to Windows Azure SQL Database command:
In the Deployment Settings click the Connect button, and connect to your Azure Server:
Click Next:
Review summary, and click Finish:
After successful deployment connect to your Azure Server in SSMS and you'll see your database:
EDIT:
If you encountered an error during the deployment check the list of limitations in Azure SQL Database:
Azure SQL Database General Guidelines and Limitations
Azure SQL Database Security Guidelines and Limitations
SQL Server Feature Limitations (Azure SQL Database)
Also, here is a blog post on how to use SQL Server Data tools to migrate a database to SQL Azure: Migrating a Database to SQL Azure using SSDT

I'm currently trying to deploy a website with Azure which I did following these steps
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-aspnet-core-ef-step-05?view=vs-2019#publish-to-azure-app-service
however the data from the database didn't get saved, like it did in the video. I think this may be because I have 2 data contexts; one for users and one for general app models.
I believe I have to figure out how to migrate my data from SQL Server Express provided by Entity Framework to Azure.
It seems like it should be doable from this link
but then this one makes it sound like you need a .bak file.
Just want to know if my Visual Studio data can easily transferred to Azure this way. would it be easier to publish my "data tier application" or extract and copy what I need to azure. Kind of overwhelmed at all the documentation trying to find the easiest way the small amount of data for my test website.
How to migrate my data from SQL Server Express provided by Entity Framework to Azure?
No you can not do that, import and export feature is not available with SQL Server Express. You can reference this link: Limitations of SQL Server Express.
As you posted the screen shoot, no function can help you migrate the database to Azure.
So if you really want migrate the database from local SQL Server to Azure, you'd better using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS). There are so many ways, such as:
Migrate on-premises SQL Server or SQL Server on Azure VMs to Azure SQL Database using the Data Migration Assistant
Tutorial: Migrate SQL Server to a single database or pooled database in Azure SQL Database offline using DMS
Copy data to and from SQL Server by using Azure Data Factory
Migrating SQL Database to Azure SQL Database using SSMS Export/Import
If you are first time to migrate, we suggest to you use the Azure Data Migration Assistant as Alberto Morillo said.
Hope this helps.
Before trying to migrate the database to Azure you need to first verify the database and its objects are compatible to Azure SQL Database. If you don't do that the migration may fail.
My suggestion is to use Azure Data Migration Assistant (DMA) to perform an assessment of your database and make sure there are no blocking points that can make the migration not possible. Make adjustments based on the report generated by the DMA tool and then use any migration method (including extracting\importing a Data-tier Application) to migrate your database to Azure SQL Database. DMA can also migrate your database to Azure SQL Database and for me is the easiest way to do it.
About restoring a native backup to Azure SQL Database, that is not possible. You can export your database as bacpac and then import it to Azure SQL Database, or you can use DMA or Data Migration Service to migrate your databases to Azure SQL Database.
Adding to what is already said . You can dump all the data in txt or csv file and put that in the local drive . In Azure we have the Azure data factory (ADF) , which has a copy activity , this is very powerful and looks like will be good for your scenario . As mentioned before the data types are the key . You will have to install something called integrated Runtime ( IR ) and it should work .
I've successfully deployed my ASP.NET project to Azure but the database has been deployed with no data, consequently throwing internal server errors due to functionality requiring that data. I can't see the exact error message as I'm unable to disable customErrors on my project (there's no webconfig file on Razor Pages)
I need to update my database on Azure with the data currently stored locally. How do you do this and is this possible?
N.B - I am using EF core with code-first migrations for data access
On the local machine open the "Microsoft server SQL management studio", connect to the local database server and navigate to the appropriate database. Rightclick on the database name and select "Generate scripts...". Select the tables you want to export, then click "next>". On this screen click the "Advanced" button, scroll down to "Types of data to script" and select "Data only". Now you can generate the script and copy that to a connection to the Azure DB, that can be an other query in de Management Studio or in the Azure portal.
I have a client willing to move to Azure PaaS with their ASP.NET web service layer. We are likely to move as Azure Web App with some jobs as Web Jobs. Is there any tool that I can run to check whether the code is compatible with PaaS Web App?
I heard a tool called xRay but not able to find it out. Would love to get your suggestions on this?
What about SQL Server On Prem to Azure SQL - is there any similar tool to check compatibility?
Azure App Service Migration Assistant
The Azure App Service Migration site and the tool can be utilized to migrate sites from Windows and Linux web servers to Azure App Service. As part of the migration the tool will create Web Apps and databases on Azure if needs be, publish content and publish your database.
SQL Database Migration Wizard
The SQL Database Migration Wizard can be used to migrate an on-premises SQL Server database to the latest Azure SQL Database Update (V12).

I have a Web application in Visual Studio 2010 in 4.0 Framework.I want to deploy this app to azure cloud services.The application contains a local sql database as well as session variables.Can anyone please guide me on the steps to follow regarding the same.Do I have to create another database or the local database will do?
You can use a local database for an Azure web application.
However, as mentioned in this article, if you want to reduce the impact that latency will have on your application, you should use an Azure SQL Database.
If you need to migrate your local database to an Azure SQL Database you can look at some of Azure SQL's migration options.
Hope this helps!
Can I connect my apex account to Oracle Form Builder or SQL Developer?
I have Apex.oracle.com Account. Can I connect this account to my SQL Developer in local machine? and in Oracle Form Builder?
An APEX account is very different from a database account. The APEX account only allows you to access the APEX builder application.
You cannot connect to the database behind apex.oracle.com via SQL Developer or any other tool that relies on creating a database connection. You can only connect to the APEX builder application via a web browser.
Oracle provides the express edition of the database (Oracle XE 11g) that you can download and run on your local machine free for whatever you'd like to do (including running commercial apps if you'd like). If you are running a local database, you can create Oracle database accounts that you can access via SQL Developer as well as creating APEX accounts that you can access to develop APEX applications in the APEX builder.
