Error copying SQL database within Elastic Pool

From @martijnkamphuis on September 12, 2017 11:24

First, let me sketch my situation (resource type - resource name). All resources are in one resource group:

• SQL server - sql_server_A — Elastic Pool - elastic_pool_1 ----- database - template_db

• SQL server - sql_server_B (no elastic pools or existing databases)

• SQL server - sql_server_C — Elastic Pool - elastic_pool_2

• SQL server - sql_server_D — Elastic Pool - elastic_pool_1 (name equal to Elastic Pool from sql_server_A)

Code being used:

ISqlDatabase template_db = /* Template database obtained from source server */;
ISqlServer sqlTargetServer = /* SQL server instance obtained */;
var dbDefinition = sqlTargetServer.Databases.Define("db_from_template");
var db = await dbDefinition.WithSourceDatabase(template_db)
			.WithMode(CreateMode.Copy)
			.CreateAsync();

I am trying to copy my ‘template_db’ from ‘sql_server_A’ to any of the other SQL servers. What works is copying either to the same SQL server (sql_server_A), or to a different SQL server containing an Elastic Pool with the name equal to the one where the template database is linked to (sql_server_D, elastic_pool_1).

In the other cases (copy to sql_server_B or sql_server_C), an exception is thrown:

In the Azure portal, it is possible to copy the database to a target server AND configure the Elastic Pool or DatabaseEdition/pricing tier. These options are not available in the Fluent SDK when using .WithSourceDatabase and/or .WithMode. I believe this should be added.

Hi,

Using v1.8, I still get this error:

This is the code I’ve used:

var db = azure.SqlServers.Databases.Define($"{sourceDb}_{targetPostfix}")
		.WithExistingSqlServer(testserver)
		.WithExistingElasticPool(targetElasticPool)
		.WithSourceDatabase(origineledatabase.Id)
		.WithMode(CreateMode.Copy)
		.Create();

The source database is in an elasticpool named prodpool1, the target is named migrationpool. The source pool is a standard pool, the target is a premiumRS pool.

Thanks!
