I've set up Geo-replication on an Azure Database Server.
One of the databases running on the server has a login and user that I created through SSMS:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-manage-logins
I cant connect to the failover database with that user. The user is visible in the replicated database, but the login is not visible in the master db. Moreover, chaning the connection string to point the the replication DNS name doesnt work.
Do I need to create the login manually on the failover?
You need to use contained users (those which are stored in the database, not in the masted database), that way you dont need to do anything.

In Azure SQL I can query what temp tables currently exist by using the query -
select * from tempdb.sys.tables;
However, I am not able to find who created these. Surely there must be a simple way to find out who created these temp tables! There are links which suggest things, but all of that works on SQL Server, not Azure SQL.
Permissions
Any user can create temporary objects in tempdb. Users can
access only their own objects, unless they receive additional
permissions. It's possible to revoke the connect permission to tempdb
to prevent a user from using tempdb. We don't recommend it because
some routine operations require the use of tempdb.
The tempdb system database is a global resource that's available to all users connected to the instance of SQL Server or connected to Azure SQL Database.
By default, server admin, database owner or a user with required permission can access the tables of tempdb.
This official article on tempdb database is related to Azure SQL Database. Please go thorugh for more details and better understanding.
I copied many times an sqlDatabase but i can only access with my user.
As read in the documentation, the principal became the user who started the operation.
So i tried using the sql statement to copy the database logged as the sql server administrator, but invain.
I can't access to copied database with the original sql server principal.
I need to keep this super user on all the server databases.
There is no problem. I can connect to all the databases copied.
There is only a visible difference in Sql Server Management Studio.
It is a connection option:
if I connect with Connect to Database: default, I can see all the databases on my server.
if i choose a single one, i can see only it.
I have created a Mobile App and Database in Microsoft Azure. Now I am trying to create Easy Tables from Mobile App but I am getting error message "You need database to use East Tables. Click here to create one.
Even though I have existing database Easy Tables doesn't list it.
Below is the screenshot.
I have mapped Data Connection with mobile app, below is the screenshot
It would be great if anyone can help, I am new to azure.
Your connection string must be created with name: MS_TableConnectionString
Just because you have a database doesn't mean it is linked. Click on Data Connections, then Add, then add your existing SQL database.
Note that Easy Tables won't recognize the existing tables unless you add them through Easy Tables. There are notes around the format of Id (it needs to be
a string) and other fields.
When you created your Database Server did you check "Allow azure services to access server"? That could be why you cannot see the Database listed.
I was deleting a single record in the Classic Azure Portal in Mobile Services Browse. The entire contents of the table has now disappeared. Please help!!! How do I restore the contents. The table and scripts are still there.
I have gone into the SQL database tab and clicked restore from point in time, this creates a new DB but does not give me an option to restore to Azure mobile services.
Restoring a database always creates a new database on the same server as the original database, so the restored database must be given a new name. Once complete, the restored database is a normal fully accessible online database charged at normal rates based on its service tier and performance level. If you are restoring the database for recovery purposes you can treat the restored database as a replacement for the original database, or use it to retrieve data from and then update the original database. Please check this article for details.
So if you are going to use the new database, you can re-configure your mobile service to use the new database as following snapshot shows(click the mobile service, go to configure tab then click change database):
(This is for an Azure SQL Database)
Just about every article says at the start to "connect to the master database" before creating a new DB.
I have connected to my Azure SQL Database server with SSMS 2014 with no problems. I see the master DB under System Databases. I right-click on Databases (this is above System Databases) in the tree on the LHS and click New Database...
The template query comments area says among other things "...connect to master..." which implies to me that I am not connected to the master.
I am obviously missing something very fundamental and obvious regarding basics.
Can someone please put me out of my misery :)
PS When I click "New Database..." when connected to my non-Azure SQL Server 2012 I get a GUI and I am able to create a DB no problem.
You do not need to explicitly connect to master to create a database in Azure SQL DB. Please follow the steps here to create a database in Azure SQL DB.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-get-started/
Also, can you please give me links to the articles that mention "Connect to master" so I can take a look and correct them if needed? Thanks.
I believe you are referring to the below template. You are actually connected to the master database and this is just a template instructions. If you are in doubt query select db_name() This should return 'master' for the master database.
If your connection string either specified database name as master / nothing it will be connected to master database.
