Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template to deploy SQL along with tables - azure

Question

I have an ARM template to deploy a sql.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
......
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers",
"apiVersion": "2021-05-01-preview",
"name": "[parameters('serverName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"properties": {
"administratorLogin": "[parameters('administratorLogin')]",
"administratorLoginPassword": "[parameters('administratorLoginPassword')]"
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers/databases",
"apiVersion": "2021-05-01-preview",
"name": "[format('{0}/{1}', parameters('serverName'), parameters('sqlDBName'))]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"sku": {
"name": "Standard",
"tier": "Standard"
},
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers', parameters('serverName'))]"
]
}
]
}
When deployed it creates an empty sql database. How do we deploy the corresponding schema, tables, procedures?

Answer 1

We tested the below ARM template in our local environment it is working fine, Below statements are based on our analysis.
Here is the ARM template we have used to create a new SQL database, a table that is exported from the existing database.
Here is our template.json file:
{
"$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01-preview/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters":
{
"administratorLogin":
{
"type": "string"
},
"administratorLoginPassword":
{
"type": "securestring"
},
"databaseName":
{
"type": "string"
},
"location":
{
"type": "string"
},
"_artifactsLocationSasToken":
{
"type": "securestring"
}
},
"variables":
{
"collation": "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS",
"edition": "Premium",
"maxSizeBytes": "1073741824",
"requestedServiceObjectiveName": "P1",
"storageKeyType": "SharedAccessKey",
"version": "12.0",
"serverName": "[concat('sqldemo', uniqueString(resourceGroup().id))]"
},
"resources":
[
{
"name": "[variables('serverName')]",
"type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers",
"apiVersion": "2015-05-01-preview",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"properties":
{
"administratorLogin": "[parameters('administratorLogin')]",
"administratorLoginPassword": "[parameters('administratorLoginPassword')]",
"version": "[variables('version')]"
},
"resources":
[
{
"name": "AllowAllWindowsAzureIps",
"type": "firewallrules",
"apiVersion": "2015-05-01-preview",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"dependsOn":
[
"[concat('Microsoft.Sql/servers/', variables('serverName'))]"
],
"properties":
{
"endIpAddress": "0.0.0.0",
"startIpAddress": "0.0.0.0"
}
},
{
"name": "[parameters('databaseName')]",
"type": "databases",
"apiVersion": "2017-03-01-preview",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"dependsOn":
[
"[concat('Microsoft.Sql/servers/', variables('serverName'))]"
],
"properties":
{
"collation": "[variables('collation')]",
"edition": "[variables('edition')]",
"maxSizeBytes": "[variables('maxSizeBytes')]",
"requestedServiceObjectiveName": "[variables('requestedServiceObjectiveName')]"
},
"resources":
[
{
"name": "Import",
"type": "extensions",
"apiVersion": "2014-04-01-preview",
"dependsOn":
[
"[concat('Microsoft.Sql/servers/', variables('serverName'), '/databases/', parameters('databaseName'))]"
],
"properties":
{
"storageKeyType": "[variables('storageKeyType')]",
"storageKey": "[parameters('_artifactsLocationSasToken')]",
"storageUri": "<Storageuri_of_exported_bacpacfile>", ##pass the bloburi of the bacpac file
"administratorLogin": "[parameters('administratorLogin')]",
"administratorLoginPassword": "[parameters('administratorLoginPassword')]",
"operationMode": "Import"
}
}
]
}
]
}
],
"outputs":
{
"serverName":
{
"type": "object",
"value": "[reference(variables('serverName'))]"
}
}
}
Here is the template.parameters.json file :
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters":
{
"administratorLogin":
{
"value": "<sqlserverusername>"
},
"databaseName":
{
"value": "<dbtablename>"
},
"location":
{
"value": "<location>"
},
"_artifactsLocationSasToken":{
"value": "<SAS token of the exported bacpacfile>"
}
}
}
Here is the sample output for reference:
Note:
You need to create a firewall rule with your Public IP in the SQL database post-creating sql DB with a table using the above ARM template.
