What is Azure SQL Database current version and which SSMS shall I use to backup database?












0















I have to backup Azure SQL database using Export Data Tier feature. I am getting error - Database source is not a supported version of SQL Server xxx: . (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac). I am using SSMS version 12.0.2000.8 on local. I need to know Azure SQL Database version and which SSMS version shall I use to backup Azure SQL database but before that I need to know SSMS and Azure SQL Database compatibility. I don't find any clear doc about SSMS and Azure SQL Database compatibility.

          The current version of Azure SQL Database is "V12".



          And the current General Availability (GA) version of SSMS is: SSMS 17.9.1.



          I also didn't find any clear doc about SSMS and Azure SQL Database compatibility. But according the link which Azure SQL Database provides for us, we can infer that Microsoft recommends we use the SSMS 17.9.1 or the latest SSMS Preview.



          enter image description here



          You can update you SSMS to the latest version and try Export Data Tier feature again.



          You can download the latest SSMS version here.



          Here's an another blob maybe is useful for you: How to upgrade from V11 to V12 SQL Azure.



          Hope this can helps you.
