I imagine this would be quite a mainstream scenario but I can't find how to import an exported Azure SQL database (.bacpac) into my LocalDB in Visual Studio 2013. Am I missing something or Visual Studio missing something?
(Note: there are solutions here when one has SQL Server management studio but I don't have it and prefer not to install it, if possible.)
If you have one of these folders on your machine
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\DAC\bin
then you can run this command to restore the bacpac file:
.\SqlPackage.exe /Action:Import /SourceFile:"c:\temp\your.bacpac" /TargetConnectionString:"Data Source=(localdb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=devdb; Integrated Security=true;"
If that folder's missing you will need to download the tooling from Microsoft.
