PART ONE: SQL Azure Database

#sqlsatMoscow

Short Introduction

• Windows Azure

Compute:

Virtualized compute environment based

on Windows Server

Storage:

Durable, scalable, & available storage

Management:

Automated, model-driven management of the service

• SQL Azure (cloud-based database)

Database:

Relational processing for structured/unstructured data

• App Fabric (.NET services)

Service Bus:

General purpose application bus

Access Control:

Rules-driven, claims-based access control

#sqlsatMoscow

Security Requirements for Azure Platform

As a Service Provider Microsoft has an obligation to passing the several rules for

security:• ISO/IEC 27001:2005

• SAS 70 Type 1 and II

Also they passing (continuisly) several data securing audits:• PCI DSS

• SOX compliance

• HIPAA compliance

And of course requirements for Data Centers:• Physical security of the data centers (locks, cameras, biometric devices, card readers, alarms)

• Firewalls, application gateways and IDS to protect the network

• Access Control Lists (ACLs) applied to virtual local area networks (VLANs) and applications

• Authentication and authorization of persons or processes that request access to data

• Hardening of the servers and operating system instances

• Redundant internal and external DNS infrastructure with restricted write access

• Securing of virtual machine objects

• Securing of static and dynamic storage containers

#sqlsatMoscow

Windows Azure DataCenters

Some datacenters have servers grouped inside containers - each containing 1800-2500 servers.

PART ONE: SQL Azure

We want to work with SQL Azure (oops SQL Database)

Size does it matter?

Personal: 1GB, 5GB

Business: 10GB, 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB, 50 GB, 100 GB, 150 GB (3x50)

“Private”: less than 100 MB ($4.995 / month)

Version does it matter?

10.25 my first experience, but after July 2011 Service Release…

11.00 now > close to SQL Server 2012

Collation does it matter?

default collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

table level collation

error msg 40544:The database has reached its size quota. Partition or delete data,

drop indexes, or consult the documentation for possible resolutions.

#sqlsatMoscow

PART ONE: SQL Database

Naming, Logins, Users

Admin, administrator, guest, root, sa

Data Migration Support

You can use:

SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS)

The bulk copy utility (BCP.exe)

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy class

Scripts that use INSERT statements to load data into the database

SQL Data Compare from Red Gate

You can't use:

The RESTORE statement.

Attaching a database to the SQL Database server.

No SQL Server Agent (almost)

No SQL Server jobs

No SQL Server Browser

No Cross Database queries

#sqlsatMoscow

PART ONE: SQL Database

Indexes, of course indexes

You MUST use CLUSTERED INDEX with your (Azure) SQL Database.

Heap tables are not supportes, so You MUST create CLUSTERED INDEX before INSERT

will be executed

error msg 40054:Tables without a clustered index are not supported in this version of

SQL Server. Create a clustered index and try again.

CREATE TABLE Source (Id int NOT NULL IDENTITY,[Name] nvarchar(max),CONSTRAINT [PK_Source] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(

[Id] ASC))

#sqlsatMoscow

PART ONE: SQL Database

Closed connections to the service… by the service

Because of multi-tenant :

Excessive resource usage

Connections that have been idle for 30 minutes or longer (Program assuming

your connection is going to fail)

Failover because of server failures

errors:

40197, 40501, 40544, 40549, 40550, 40551,

40552, 40553, and 40613

Sample of SQL Compability

In Scope for v1

Constants Constraints Cursors Index management and rebuilding indexes Local temporary tables Reserved keywords Stored procedures Statistics management Transactions Triggers Tables, joins, and table variables Transact-SQL language elements such as

Create/drop databases Create/alter/drop tables Create/alter/drop users and logins and so on.

User-defined functions Views

Out of Scope for v1

Common Language Runtime (CLR) Database file placement Database mirroring Distributed queries Distributed transactions Filegroup management Global temporary tables Spatial data and indexes SQL Server configuration options SQL Server Service Broker System tables Trace Flags Physical server or catalog DDL and views

#sqlsatMoscow

SQL Server 2005 {9.0} NON-Compability

Common Language Runtime (CLR) and CLR User-Defined Types

Database Mirroring

Service Broker

Table Partitioning

Typed XML and XML indexing is not supported. The XML data type is supported by

SQL Azure.

#sqlsatMoscow

SQL Server 2008 {10.0} NON-Compability

Change Data Capture

Data Auditing

Data Compression

Extended Events

External Key Management / Extensible Key Management

FILESTREAM Data

#sqlsatMoscow

SQL Server 2008 R2 {10.50} NON-Compability

SQL Server Utility

SQL Server PowerShell Provider

Master Data Services

SQL Server Management Studio does not

support Windows Azure SQL Database in

versions prior to SQL Server 2008 R2

#sqlsatMoscow

Connection Model

When writing applications for Windows Azure SQL Database, you can use the following

drivers and libraries:

• .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient) from the .NET

Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later.

• Entity Framework from the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later.

• SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC driver. SQL Server 2008 Native Client ODBC

driver is also supported, but has less functionality.

• SQL Server 2008 Driver for PHP version 1.1 or later.

• An updated version of SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0 that supports SQL Database.

Windows Azure SQL Database supports tabular data stream (TDS) protocol client

version 7.3 or later. Earlier versions of TDS protocol are not supported.

Connecting to Windows Azure SQL Database by using OLE DB or ADO is not supported

Support for ASP.NET controls

Clients connect directly to a database

#sqlsatMoscow

Security Model

Uses regular SQL security model

Authenticate logins, map to users and roles

Authorize users and roles to SQL objects

Support for standard SQL Auth logins

Username + password

Future AD Federation, WLID – Windows Live ID, etc as alternate authentication

protocols

[admin, administrator, guest, root, sa]

Security model is 100% compatible with on-premise SQL

#sqlsatMoscow

Scenarios for V1

• Departmental Applications

‒ Simple application built by individual or department

‒ Need simple deployment, self-management, IT: “Empowerment and Governance”

• Web Applications

‒ Small business or startup that uses the cloud as their IT

‒ Simple deployment, self-management, scale on demand

• ISV

‒ ISV hosting software on behalf of customer

‒ Multi-tenant support for billing and isolation

• Data Hub (Shortly After V1)

‒ Sharing and aggregating of data across tiers and across enterprises

‒ Centralized place for data, high scale, sync with existing data sources

SQL Database Migration Wizard v3.9.14.1 & v4.0.17.1

Project Description

SQL Database Migration Wizard (SQLAzureMW) is designed to help you migrate your SQL

Server 2005/2008/2012 databases to Azure SQL Database.

Requirements

SQLAzureMW v3x and tools requires SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 bits to run.

SQLAzureMW v4x and tools requires SQL Server 2012 bits to run.

AzureMWBatchBackup:

This is used to create a backup of a database schema and data. The data is downloaded via

BCP. The TSQL output from SQLAzureMWBatchBackup can be used by SQLAzureMW or

SQLAzureMWBatchUpload.

SQLAzureMWBatchUpload:

Takes the output from SQLAzureMW or SQLAzureMWBatchBackup and runs it against the

target Azure SQL Database (or SQL Server) server.
