Get Database Copy (classic)
THIS TOPIC APPLIES TO: SQL Server Azure SQL DatabaseAzure SQL Data Warehouse Parallel Data Warehouse
Gets details for an Azure SQL Database copy.
Important
The recommended REST commands to work with SQL Database are the Resource Manager based Azure SQL Database REST API. While there is no change to SQL Database, be aware that the classic deployment model command in this article is scheduled for deprecation on December 1, 2019. For a table providing links to the specific new commands you should use, see Operations for Azure SQL Databases.
Request
The Get Database Copy request must be specified as follows:
Replace {subscriptionId} with your subscription ID.
Replace {serverName} with the name of the server that contains the database.
Replace {databaseName} with the name of the database copy you want.
Replace {linkID} with your link ID (the link ID is the Name element from the Get Database Copy (classic), List Database Copies (classic), Start Database Copy (classic), and Update Database Copy (classic) responses).

x-ms-request-id | A value that uniquely identifies a request made against the database management service. This request id is used for request tracking. If a failure occurs that requires the user to contact Microsoft Support, the request id should be provided to Microsoft to assist in tracking and resolving the failure for the request. |
Response Body
The following is an example response body:

</ServiceResource>
The following table describes the elements in the response body:
Name | The link ID for the database copy. This is the same as the link ID in sys.dm_database_copies. It is a GUID which is used in the resource paths for the Get Database Copy, Update Database Copy, and Stop Database Copy requests. |
Type | The server-side type of the database copy. |
State | Describes the state of the resource. The value is always Normal for database copies. |
SelfLink | The URI to the database copy. |
ParentLink | Link to the parent resource. |
SourceServerName | The server that is the source for the copy. |
SourceDatabaseName | The database that is the source for the copy. |
DestinationServerName | The server that is the destination for the copy. |
DestinationDatabaseName | The database that is the destination for the copy. |
IsContinuous | Specifies that the copy is a continuous copy. |
IsOfflineSecondary | When True, specifies that the copy should be a passive continuous copy. |
IsTerminationAllowed | When True, specifies that the passive continuous copy has permission to failover. |
StartDate | The time the copy was started. |
ModifyDate | The time the copy was last modified. |
PercentComplete | Percent complete of the copy. For continuous copies, this only applies to the SEEDING (initial copy) phase. |
ReplicationState | An integer representing the replication state of the database. Possible values are: - 0: PENDING (the copy hasn't started yet) - 1: SEEDING (the initial copy is in progress) - 2: CATCH_UP (for continuous copies, indicates that the initial copy is complete and asynchronous commits are being propagated to the target) - 4: TERMINATED Other values (like 3) are possible. The corresponding ReplicationStateDescription would be NULL). The meaning of these values will not change in future releases. |
ReplicationStateDescription | The string description for the ReplicationState (see ReplicationState). |
LocalDatabaseId | The ID of the local database (the same as the id in sys.databases). If the resource path for the request is to the source database, this will be the ID of the source databases. If the resource path for the request is to the target database, this will be the ID of the target database. |
IsLocalDatabaseReplicationTarget | Whether or not the local database (see LocalDatabaseId) is the target for the copy. |
IsInterlinkConnected | If the database copy is interlink connected. |
