Arun Sirpal shows us a method for moving Azure SQL Databases between resource groups:
In my mind there are a couple of ways to move a database across resource groups. They vary from scripting to just using the Azure portal. I am going to use the Azure portal and do the following.
- Export a database in resource group X to a storage account Z.
- Import the file from the storage account Z into a database that is in resource group Y.
It’s just like a “backup and restore” strategy, all with the assumption that you are working within the same subscription ID.
Read on for a step-by-step demonstration on how to do this.
