出于PowerBI的目的将数据从Prem上的SQL Server推送到SQL Azure中

Question

I am new to PowerBI and have uploaded PIBX files for use by PowerBI, however, I have a scenario where I have some data in a local SQL Server but I want to get it into SQL Azure (preferably an automated push twice per day) so that I can create some PowerBI Embedded reports.

I am not sure what the best approach is, if I should be pushing it somehow or pulling it, or what tools to use to do this?

Any recommendations?

Answer 1

There are many approaches you can use, to push data from Onpremises to Azure..

1.SSIS

You can write an SSIS data flow task

2.Replication

You can replicate your Onpremises database to azure starting from SQLAzure v12

3.write a console application and schedule it through SQLAgent

I would go with Replication,since it reduces the effort of knowing what to sync and what not to
