I’m trying to migrate my SQL Server 2008 database to Azure, but I can’t find the FQDN to connect from SQL Server Management Studio. I’ve been searching for two days and found nothing. On the web interface (https://manage.windowsazure.com/), google, and all other place. Everyone just assumes that the reader know where the FQDN is.
I’ve tried servername.database.windows.net, the “Manage URL” link from Azure web interface which both fails. Database firewall has been set to allow my current IP address. Where can I get the FQDN to connect to the sql database?
I need this because I’m doing a database-first development with ASP.Net MVC3 as opposed to code-first. It would really helpful if there’s a tutorial on deploying that too (because I only found tutorials for code-first development).
Thanks before.
You do have correct SQL Database FQDN name as shown above and your connectivity problem is not related with FQDN name so you would need to troubleshoot the connectivity issues first.
The following article provides a wide verity of steps to troubleshoot the problems:
