Easy-to-use ELT Tool

Skyvia's Replication is an easy-to-use ELT tool that lets you set up SQL Server replication to SQL Azure in several minutes. It allows you to copy SQL Server data to SQL Azure and keep the copy up to date.

Powerful Replication Features

Automatic Schema Creation and Update

You don’t need to prepare the SQL Azure database — Skyvia creates the tables, corresponding to the SQL Server tables, in the data warehouse automatically. Besides, it can automatically modify target SQL Azure tables according to new columns added in SQL Server.

Complete or Partial Replication

With Skyvia you can extract and load all the data from a SQL Server table or disable loading for some SQL Server columns. You can also configure filters for data to replicate.

Data Hashing

Skyvia allows you to hash sensitive data, like names and emails. You can conceal personally identifiable information for better compliance and preserve analytical value of replicated data at the same time.

Change Data Capture

Skyvia can keep your SQL Azure database up-to-date with SQL Server automatically. For SQL Server, it supports true CDC via Write-Ahead Log. Skyvia also can detect changes using timestamp or autoincrement columns. If table does not have such columns, you can do full resync every time or on demand.

History Mode

History mode allows you to store all versions of SQL Server records in your SQL Azure database instead of keeping only the current versions. You can select the mode for each table separately.

Flexible Table Naming

By default, target tables are named in the same way as in the source. Skyvia offers settings that allow you to change target table names — for all SQL Server tables in the integration or for each one separately. This is especially useful if you load several SQL Server instances into the same SQL Azure database, and want to use separate tables for them.

Optimized Data Loading

Skyvia combines a high-performance optimized batch data loading into SQL Azure with a granular, per-record data insertion and error logging in case of any errors.

True ETL Tools

If you need more than just to copy data from SQL Server to SQL Azure, you may use Skyvia's powerful ETL functionality for SQL Server and SQL Azure integration. Skyvia's Import tool will correctly extract SQL Server data, transform it, and load to SQL Azure when SQL Azure tables have different structure than SQL Server objects. Moreover, Skyvia Import allows loading data in any direction, supporting Reverse ETL scenario.

For more complex cases, you can use Data Flow and Control Flow tools. They are designer-based solutions for creating complex data pipelines, involving not only SQL Server and SQL Azure connectors, but any number of connectors in one integration. With these tools you can automate data workflows, involving custom logic, complex multistage transformations, combine data from different sources, load them into multiple destinations at once and many more.
