Migrating Databases to SQL Database by Generating a Script of an Existing Database. To migrate an existing SQL Server database to Azure SQL Database you can export the schema as a Transact SQL script and then execute that script against Microsoft Azure SQL Database as follows. Export a script from SQL Server Management Studio and set the appropriate export options. Because Microsoft Azure SQL Database supports a subset of features found in SQL Server, you may have to make some modifications to the script before you are able to execute it in the cloud. Execute the script to create the schema in Microsoft Azure SQL Database. Step By Step. Using the wizard involves the following main steps Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to an instance of the Database Engine. In Object Explorer, right click a database to open a menu, select Tasks, and then select Generate Scripts. Choose objects to export. Set scripting options. You have the options to save the script to file, clipboard, new query window or publish it to a web service. Set advanced scripting options. By default, the script is generated for stand alone SQL Server instance. To change the configuration, click the Advanced button from the Set Scripting Options dialog, and then set the Script for the database engine type property to SQL Database. You can also set the Types of data to script to one of the following based on your requirements Schema only, Data only, Schema and data. After the script is created, you have the option to modify the script before running the script against an Azure SQL Database to transfer the database. You can now run this script on your Azure SQL Database or SQL Server running in an Azure VM. Migrating Databases to SQL Database by Using Data tier Application Export and Import. You can perform a Data tier Application DAC export to migrate both the definition of the objects in a database and the data from the user tables into a DAC export file BACPAC.

For more information, see How to Import and Export a Database Azure SQL Database. Step By Step. What You Need to Know. Before you begin working with the ImportExport Service, create an Azure storage account for storing BACPAC files.
