通过 https://portal.azure.com 导出 Azure SQL 永远不会完成

Question

Have tried exporting our sql database several times, several different copies (regional replication), and we always get a zero byte file in our storage blob account. No statuses, no error messages.

Any hints?

Edit: None of the below answers solved my issue. The issue was there was an invalid view in the database, which was causing the export to silently fail.

Answer 1

Perform the "Export Data-tier Application" task from SQL Server Management Studio instead. This will provide you with detailed progress about the export.

Step by step instructions:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (2016 or above)
2. Connect to the Azure SQL Server
3. Right click on the required database, choose "Tasks" and "Export Data-tier Application"
4. Follow the wizard

Answer 2

get a zero byte file in our storage blob account. No statuses, no error messages.

This is an expected behavior, this 0 byte file is used to check whether it has permissions to your storage account container. The service will not write out the full BACPAC until the export is complete. it will not save template data to our storage, and we need not to pay for the template data. For this reason, you will see the size of the file is always 0 byte. At currently we have no process bar to show whether the export operation is completed in portal, so please check the resource utilization like following chart. if the line back to the normal level then check your file again.
