How to Enable SQL Azure Change Tracking https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2976.azure-sql-how-to-enable-change-tracking.aspx Cross-database queries are not supported in Azure SQL Database Issue Databases on this server use cross-database queries, which are not supported in Azure SQL Database. Azure SQL Database does not support cross-database queries. The following actions are recommended: 1. Migrate the dependent database(s) to Azure SQL Database and use 'Elastic Database Query' (Currently in preview) functionality to query across Azure SQL databases 2. Move the dependent datasets from other databases into the database that is being migrated 3. Migrate to Azure SQL Managed Instance 4. Migrate to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machine. Check Azure SQL Database elastic database query (Currently in preview) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/elastic-query-overview Filestream is not supported in Azure SQL Database Issue The Filestream feature, which allows you to store unstructured data such as text documents, images, and videos in NTFS file system, is not supported in Azure SQL Database. Upload the unstructured files to Azure Blob storage and store metadata related to these files (name, type, URL location, storage key etc.) in Azure SQL Database. You may have to re-engineer your application to enable streaming blobs to and from Azure SQL Database. Alternatively, migrate to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machine. See Streaming Blobs To and From SQL Azure https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/streaming-blobs-to-and-from-sql-azure/ Linked server functionality is not supported in Azure SQL Database Issue Linked servers enable the SQL Server Database Engine to execute commands against OLE DB data sources outside of the instance of SQL Server. Azure SQL Database does not support linked server functionality. The following actions are recommended to eliminate the need for linked servers: 1. Identify the dependent datasets from remote SQL servers and consider moving these into the database being migrated. 2. Migrate the dependent database(s) to Azure SQL Database and use ‘Elastic Database Query’ functionality (Currently in preview) to query across Azure SQL databases 3. Migrate to Azure SQL Managed Instance if the remote server is SQL Server as well 4. Migrate to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machine. Check Azure SQL Database elastic database query (Currently in preview) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/elastic-query-overview Service Broker feature is not supported in Azure SQL Database Issue SQL Server Service Broker provides native support for messaging and queuing applications in the SQL Server Database Engine.

Issue Azure SQL Database cannot access file shares or Windows folders. See the "Impacted Objects" section for the specific uses of BULK INSERT statements that do not reference an Azure blob. Objects with 'BULK INSERT' where the source is not Azure blob storage will not work after migrating to Azure SQL Database. You will need to convert BULK INSERT statements that use local files or file shares to use files from Azure blob storage instead, when migrating to Azure SQL Database. Alternatively, migrate to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machine. A use of CREATE CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER or ALTER CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER was found, which is not supported in Azure SQL Database Issue Azure SQL Database does not support CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER statements because it cannot access files. See the Impacted Objects section for the specific uses of CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER statements. Objects with 'CREATE CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER' or 'ALTER CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER' will not work correctly after migrating to Azure SQL Database. Review objects with 'CREATE CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER' or 'ALTER CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVIDER'. In any such objects that are required, remove the uses of these features.

Issue Tables or columns named NEXT were detected. Sequences, introduced in Microsoft SQL Server, use the ANSI standard NEXT VALUE FOR function. If a table or a column is named NEXT and the column is aliased as VALUE, and if the ANSI standard AS is omitted, the resulting statement can cause an error. Rewrite statements to include the ANSI standard AS keyword when aliasing a table or column. For example, when a column is named NEXT and that column is aliased as VALUE, the query SELECT NEXT VALUE FROM TABLE will cause an error and should be rewritten as SELECT NEXT AS VALUE FROM TABLE. Similarly, when a table is named NEXT and that table is aliased as VALUE, the query SELECT Col1 FROM NEXT VALUE will cause an error and should be rewritten as SELECT Col1 FROM NEXT AS VALUE.
