Getting started

Basic workflow

Once you deploy the SQL Tran application on Azure Marketplace, SQL Tran will be deployed to your Azure tenant, ensuring complete isolation of your data. Nobody can access it but you and the users you give access to. The user who deployed SQL Tran becomes a super-admin and can invite other users.

Make sure to have Azure quota in the region where you are deploying SQL Tran!

• SQL Tran Basic: P2MV3 CPUs, Standard_D2s_v3 Postgres

• SQL Tran Pro & BYOL: P3MV3 CPUs, Standard_D2s_v3 Postgres

If you have deployed a BYOL plan of SQL Tran, you will be asked for your activation code before you are allowed to continue using the application. BYOL plan is not a pay-as-you-go plan and requires your organization to have pre-purchased licenses separately.

Creating your first project

Initially, there is a greeting screen. Once you create your first project, you will see your list of projects.

To get started, click the New project button, select your source database type, and you can immediately upload your source database script.

We will select SQL Server here.

SQL Tran supports SQL, ZIP, and DACPAC files for upload.

If you don't have the script ready, use our Scripter tool to quickly extract code from your live database. Scripter doesn't send anything to Spectral Core and instead simply writes a file to your disk. You can upload that file to SQL Tran.
