SSIS Data Transfer from Azure SQL to On-premises SQL Server 2016


Is there any way to transfer the large volume of data from Azure SQL to on-premises SQL Server 2016 Enterprise/Standard? The requirements prescribed as follows:

  • Weekly full database transfer
  • Daily delta transfer before midnight

I read about SSIS for Azure Blob Storage but am not sure whether it is applicable to this context.

Updated: I found an article on Azure Data Sync; according to that article, it seems doable. Please share your experiences. That would be extremely helpful. https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3062/understanding-sql-data-sync-for-sql-server/


Solution

  • Weekly full database transfer

    SSIS Doesn't provide a way to do Full transfer of data(i mean backup),unless you want to truncate and insert from source..

    For Weekly full database transfer,i would go with SQLAzure Export/Import functionality

    Refer below links for more details..

    2.I need to automate SQL Azure database backup in SQL Script files. How can i do so?

    Daily delta transfer before midnight

    You will need a way to identify delta..so create a table with all table names and last run time

    create a console application which uses bulk insert functionality,which uses above table as base and insert in onpremises
