Umbraco migration from SQL to SQL Azure

Question

I'm migrating an SQL Database (Umbraco 6.1.6) to SQL Azure and facing several problems when importing the data. It's felling a bit like this.

Following the current wiki, with the difference that I have to execute sqlcmd to run the data script, because the file as approximately 500MB.

sqlcmd -U user_dbo -P password -S cloudserver -d Database -i c:\script\data.sql -o c:\azuremigration.txt

Through the process on my output file I get several errors like:

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_cmsPropertyData_umbracoNode". The conflict occurred in database "xxx", table "dbo.umbracoNode", column 'id'.
The statement has been terminated.

Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Server xxx, Line 49
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_cmsDocument_cmsContent". The conflict occurred in database "xxx", table "dbo.cmsContent", column 'nodeId'.
The statement has been terminated.

Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Server xxx, Line 20
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_cmsPropertyData_cmsPropertyType". The conflict occurred in database "xxx", table "dbo.cmsPropertyType", column 'id'.

When the data is 'partially' imported accessing the backoffice, or any page of the site I got this SQL exception:

 Invalid object name 'cmsPropertyTypeGroup'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'cmsPropertyTypeGroup'.

Also tried to use the Red Gate Data Compare tool, they don't output me errors, but my end result is the same.

Any ideas to make this process less painfull and actually working A ok?

Answer 1

It seems that the wiki is missing one important step.

It has to be scripted for Azure:

Edit: This is after step 10 in the wiki
