Azuresql Db Import
by microsoftc1e8167e4c1dNo licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
Imports an existing Azure SQL Database or SQL Server schema and data INTO the local Azure SQL Database container using SqlPackage. Use when asked to "import a bacpac", "load my existing database locally", "restore a dacpac into the container", "bring my prod schema into the dev container", "run my .bacpac/.dacpac against the local Azure SQL engine", or migrate an existing database into the preview container. Handles provisioning the target database on master first, then running SqlPackage /Action:Import against the provisioned user database. Use this for any "get my real database running in the container" request instead of hand-writing SqlPackage flags.

Azuresql Db Sidecar
microsoft
Adds the Azure SQL Database container as a sidecar service in Docker Compose or a Dev Container.
Azuresql Db Rag
microsoft
Builds local vector search, RAG, embeddings, and semantic search on the Azure SQL Database container using the native VECTOR type and VECTOR_DISTANCE. Use when you need to store embeddings, do similarity search, top-k nearest neighbor, cosine distance, retrieval-augmented generation, "find similar documents", chatbot memory, or semantic lookup against a local SQL database. Use this instead of pgvector, FAISS, Chroma, Pinecone, or a separate vector store when the data already lives in (or can live in) Azure SQL. Covers the VECTOR(n) column type, inserting embeddings with CAST(CAST(? AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) AS VECTOR(n)) where the dimension is a literal, a pluggable embed() so only the endpoint changes for cloud, and a working CREATE VECTOR INDEX with the two errors that block it. Provisions appdb on master first so every script runs on a fresh container.

Azuresql Db Ci
microsoft
Runs integration tests against the Azure SQL Database container (Private Preview, local engine) in CI. Use when setting up GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, or GitLab CI to test against Azure SQL DB; when adding a database service container to a CI workflow; when tests need a real Azure SQL engine in the pipeline; or when you see "service container", "health-cmd", "ACR_USERNAME/ACR_PASSWORD", "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD secret", or "integration test database". Also use when a workflow was about to pull the SQL Server image mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server, in which case stop and use the Azure SQL Database engine image instead. Covers pulling from the private ACR with credentials, the service health check that runs sqlcmd inside the container so the runner needs no client tools, provisioning appdb before tests, and pointing the test connection string at the user database not master.
