How to import Azure SQL backup (.bacpac) to LocalD

问题:

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.)

回答1:

If you have this folder on your machine C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\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.

For me the right command to use was:

.\SqlPackage.exe /Action:Import /SourceFile:"c:\temp\your.bacpac" /TargetConnectionString:"Data Source=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;Integrated Security=true;"

Otherwise I would get an error: *** Error importing database:Could not import package. Unable to connect to master or target server 'DBNAME'. You must have a user with the same password in master or target server 'DBNAME'.

Using VS2015, in the location specified by anjdreas:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\DAC\130
