The completed Import Database dialog
When ready, click the check (OK) button on the Import Database dialog to begin the import process. The dialog
will go away, but the import process is indeed happening and you can verify this by watching the status of the lower
menu bar. Once the import is successful, the new status will display in the lower menu bar, indicating that the import
has succeeded.
Export
Exporting a Windows Azure SQL Database instance is similar to the Import process. In the Windows Azure
Management Portal, select the SQL Databases node in the left navigation pane, and then select a database from the
list of databases. The Export button, shown in Figure
4-11
earlier, will now be visible. Clicking the Export button will
bring up the Export Database dialog, shown in Figure
4-14
.
