Hi everyone, I hope you are very well!
I need to migrate a SQL Server database that we have in a virtual machine to a running SQL Database in a SQL Server and I don't know how to do it. Some help please?

Hi @juani ,

If the SQL Server database is not that big, you can use Azure Data Migration Assistant to migrate a SQL Server database to Azure SQL Database as explained on this tutorial. The same tool allows you to perform an Assessment first. You can download the latest version from here.
Hello Alberto! Thanks for your answer!
The idea of performing an assessment works for me but I think that the tool is not the one I need since what I have now is a "SQL Virtual Machine" and not a "SQL Server Database". It's like a windows server running SQL Server
The tool will take your databases from the Azure SQL VM to Azure SQL database. The tool performs the assessment and performs the migration.
Hi @juani
As Alberto already said... that is one of the methods...
I have another for you... using Azure Data Studio and the Data Migration Extension (which I love)
Here you can find the tutorial and documentation for it
