I need to copy tables from our production azure DB over to our new azure test DB for development and testing purposes. I've tried using USE and :CONNECT commands from the production DB but it will not connect to the test DB environment. Is there a way to accomplish this directly from Azure studio in the database section?

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    What was the error message during connect?

    Did you check this article?

    Hi @Joseph G

    You can also probably perform export data (Task->export data) using SSMS tool and pass the source and destination server/database details and select the tables which you would like to copy.
