    Running a local DB on Azure

    Hi All,

    I am about to help someone move their sites on to Azure, from a Windows VM. One thing I can't see a clear answer on is:

    Will the loacl DB (umbraco.sdf) just work on Azure as it does on a VM, or have I got to move it to a Azure SQL Database?

    There are various versions of Umbraco, but most are 6 or 7.

    Thanks for any help.

    Stephen

    I would move it to azure DB. There is a really simple plugin migration tool in visual studio available to do this. Check this for useage. https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0e313dfd-be80-4afb-b5e9-6e74d369f7a1 As a sidebar however if you really want to leave it as sqlCE, it should theoretically still work. The issue will be that you will have a local instance and prod instance that will not be sharing the same db. Unless that is what you want.

    Hi Mac,

    Thanks for the quick response. None of the websites are expected to have any further development on them, so I can't see that being a problem.

    There is also likely to be the factor of cost. If every website I have to move for them adds 30 mins to the migration time, it's gona cost the more, so I expect I know which route will be favoured.

    Thanks for the help

    Stephen
