Symptoms
Assume that you use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2014 (SSMS 2014) to connect to Microsoft SQL Azure Databases. In Management Studio, when you right-click Databases, and then click the New Database command, the template script is as follows:
-- ======================================================================
-- Create database template for a SQL Azure database -- This script will run only in the context of the master database. -- To manage this database in SQL Server Management Studio, either connect -- to the created database, or connect to master. -- ======================================================================= CREATE DATABASE <Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name> GO
The script does not include SQL Azure-specific options such as EDITION and SERVICE_OBJECTIVE.
