Opening Azure database in SSMS

  • I triad to open an Azure database in SSMS and it opens fine, I can see data and query tables but I'm missing SQL Server Agent with which to run nightly jobs. Is there another tool I should be using to open this?

  • Azure SQL Database doesn't come with an agent.  As such you need to use an elastic job instead to schedule these.

    If you need the traditional SQL Agent, you will need to look at managed instances or VM's with full blown SQL on them.

  • There are many different scheduling services within Azure. Find one of them and put it to work.
