The Browse Cloud Storage dialog
Back in the Import Database dialog, enter a name for the new database that will be created during the import
process. I called mine AWMini2 so it doesn't conflict with the database created in the previous example.
Next, select the subscription where you will be creating the database and into which you will import the BACPAC
into, and then select the server on which the new database will be created.
■
the storage account and Windows azure SQL Database instance must be in the same geographical region;
otherwise you will receive a warning stating that the Database and resource are not in the same region and you will not
be able to import the BaCpaC. this limitation exists to ensure that no outbound transfer costs will be incurred during the
import/export process.
Note
Finally, enter the Login name and password to the Windows Azure SQL Database server. The Import Database
dialog should now look like Figure

. If you want to specify the new database Edition and Max size, check the
Configure Advanced Database Settings box. If you leave the checkbox blank, the import process will create a 1 GB
Web Edition database. Therefore, if your database is larger than 1 GB, you should select this option and select the
appropriate database size for the Import process.
