使用python从外部恢复azure数据库

Question

Is there any way to restore an azure database by calling from outside. My database is backed up automatically, I want to use that back up to restore to a new database.

That is perfect if I can do this by using Python.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can use REST API to create a new database from a point-in-time restore of an existent database.

Sample request.

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444/resourceGroups/Default-SQL-SouthEastAsia/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/testsvr/databases/dbpitr?api-version=2017-10-01-preview

Request body.

{
  "location": "southeastasia",
  "sku": {
    "name": "S0",
    "tier": "Standard"
  },
  "properties": {
    "createMode": "PointInTimeRestore",
    "sourceDatabaseId": "/subscriptions/00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444/resourceGroups/Default-SQL-SouthEastAsia/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/testsvr/databases/testdb",
    "restorePointInTime": "2017-07-14T05:35:31.503Z"
  }
}
