Using SSMS
Limited GUI with SSMS 2012 or SSMS 2014 RTM
Need to write code
We can create database.
Need the azure syntax
SSMS 2014 SP1 gives better support
SSMS 2016 has more support especially for v12
Can’t use “USE”

DACPAC and BACPAC
SSMS 2012+
DACPAC Extract Data Tier Application - schema
BACPAC Export Data Tier Application – schema + data
Azure currently only supports BACPAC
Validates the schema before creating the file
Save to local disk
Copy BACPAC to Azure storage for Import from the ManagementPortal
Or
Export straight to new database on Azure Server

Upgrade v11 to v12
Must use the new portal
32 |

Azure Web Management Portal
Web based SSMS like tool
GUI for database, tables, views procedures
No GUI for managing users
Can run Queries
Can view execution plans
At the time of writing there is only a web portal for v11 databases.

Clustered Index
In a V11 database tables must have a clustered index
It is still possible to create a table without one
But you can’t use it
If you get your clustered index wrong you can’t drop it
