Use PowerShell to sync data between multiple databases in Azure SQL Database

[!INCLUDEappliesto-sqldb]

This Azure PowerShell example configures SQL Data Sync to sync data between multiple databases in Azure SQL Database.

[!INCLUDE quickstarts-free-trial-note] [!INCLUDE updated-for-az] [!INCLUDE cloud-shell-try-it.md]

If you choose to install and use PowerShell locally, this tutorial requires Az PowerShell 1.4.0 or later. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module. If you are running PowerShell locally, you also need to run Connect-AzAccount to create a connection with Azure.

For an overview of SQL Data Sync, see Sync data across multiple cloud and on-premises databases with SQL Data Sync in Azure.

Important

SQL Data Sync does not support Azure SQL Managed Instance at this time.

Prerequisites

  • Create a database in Azure SQL Database from an AdventureWorksLT sample database as a hub database.
  • Create a database in Azure SQL Database in the same region as the sync database.
  • Update the parameter placeholders before running the example.

Example

using namespace Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Sql.DataSync.Model
using namespace System.Collections.Generic

# hub database info
$subscriptionId = "<subscriptionId>"
$resourceGroupName = "<resourceGroupName>"
$serverName = "<serverName>"
$databaseName = "<databaseName>"

# sync database info
$syncDatabaseResourceGroupName = "<syncResourceGroupName>"
$syncDatabaseServerName = "<syncServerName>"
$syncDatabaseName = "<syncDatabaseName>"

# sync group info
$syncGroupName = "<syncGroupName>"
$conflictResolutionPolicy = "HubWin" # can be HubWin or MemberWin
$intervalInSeconds = 300 # sync interval in seconds (must be no less than 300)

# member database info
$syncMemberName = "<syncMemberName>"
$memberServerName = "<memberServerName>"
$memberDatabaseName = "<memberDatabaseName>"
$memberDatabaseType = "SqlServerDatabase" # can be AzureSqlDatabase or SqlServerDatabase
$syncDirection = "Bidirectional" # can be Bidirectional, Onewaymembertohub, Onewayhubtomember

# sync agent info
$syncAgentName = "<agentName>"
$syncAgentResourceGroupName = "<syncAgentResourceGroupName>"
$syncAgentServerName = "<syncAgentServerName>"

$syncMemberResourceId = "/subscriptions/$subscriptionId/resourceGroups/$resourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/$serverName/databases/$syncMemberDBName"

# temp file to save the sync schema
$tempFile = $env:TEMP+"\syncSchema.json"

# list of included columns and tables in quoted name
$includedColumnsAndTables =  "[SalesLT].[Address].[AddressID]",
                             "[SalesLT].[Address].[AddressLine2]",
                             "[SalesLT].[Address].[rowguid]",
                             "[SalesLT].[Address].[PostalCode]",
                             "[SalesLT].[ProductDescription]"

Clean up deployment

After you run the sample script, you can run the following command to remove the resource group and all resources associated with it.

Remove-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName
Remove-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName $SyncDatabaseResourceGroupName

Script explanation

This script uses the following commands. Each command in the table links to command-specific documentation.

Command Notes
New-AzSqlSyncAgent Creates a new Sync Agent.
New-AzSqlSyncAgentKey Generates the agent key associated with the Sync Agent.
Get-AzSqlSyncAgentLinkedDatabase Get all the information for the Sync Agent.
New-AzSqlSyncMember Add a new member to the sync group.
Update-AzSqlSyncSchema Refreshes the database schema information.
Get-AzSqlSyncSchema Get the database schema information.
Update-AzSqlSyncGroup Updates the sync group.
Start-AzSqlSyncGroupSync Triggers a sync.
Get-AzSqlSyncGroupLog Checks the Sync Log.
