I have copied our database to another Azure SQL database, see the screenshot. However, when I access the database, I'm unable to view the tables. I can only view system tables. Can someone let me know any additional steps I need to make when copying an Azure SQL database to another Azure SQL Server please?
I would appear I can't login to the database now that I have moved/copied it over to a new Azure SQL Server, but I don't understand why?
Unable to View Tables After Copying Database to Another Azure SQL Server
I tested this scenario in my environment using the 'Copy' option in the Azure SQL Database. I created a new server by replacing the existing SQL Server name. Both the server deployment and the database copy operation completed successfully, and I was able to view the tables and data in the copied database.
Steps I followed:
Open the existing SQL database in the Azure portal.
Click on the Copy
option.
You will be redirected to the Review + Create
page.
Specify the target server name
, database name
, and compute + storage
settings.
Verify the details entered, then click Review + Create
to initiate the copy operation.
After completion, the new server and database were successfully created, and I was able to access all tables and data without issues.
