I decided to put a list of the migration methods that can be useful for migrating to Azure SQLDatabase. By all means it is not complete and if you have any suggestions to expand it – do not be shy.
The current list of the ways that I am considering is here:
-
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
-
BACPAC + SSMS/Portal/Powershell
-
SQL Azure Migration Wizard (SAMW)
-
SQL Server Data Tools (Visual Studio) + BCP/SSIS
-
Azure Data Factory
-
Transactional Replication
-
Linked Server
Read on for the details on each method.
