Create Database Restore Request (classic)
THIS TOPIC APPLIES TO: SQL Server Azure SQL DatabaseAzure SQL Data Warehouse Parallel Data Warehouse
Restore an Azure SQL Database.
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 Create Database Restore Request request must be specified as follows:
Replace {subscriptionId} with your subscription ID.
Replace {serverName} with the name of the server containing the database you want to restore.
Method | Request URI | HTTP Version |
---|---|---|
POST | https://management.core.windows.net:8443/{subscriptionId}/services/sqlservers/servers/{serverName}/restoredatabaseoperations | HTTP/1.1 |
Executing this method submits a request to restore a specific database. The time to complete the request can vary depending on the attributes of the database. Use Database Operation Status (classic) to query the status of the operation.
URI Parameters
None.
Request Headers
The following table describes the required and optional request headers:
Request Header | Description |
---|---|
x-ms-version | Required. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. This header should be set to 2012-03-01. |
x-ms-client-request-id | Optional. Provides a client-generated, opaque value with a 1 KB character limit. Using this header is highly recommended for correlating client-side activities with requests received by the server. |
Request Body
The format of the request body is as follows:
<ServiceResource xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SourceDatabaseName>sourceDb</SourceDatabaseName>
<SourceDatabaseDeletionDate>2013-08-29T21:38:54.5330000Z</SourceDatabaseDeletionDate> <!-- Optional, only applies when restoring a dropped database. -->
<TargetDatabaseName>targetDb</TargetDatabaseName>
<TargetUtcPointInTime>2013-09-03T00:00:00.0000000Z</TargetUtcPointInTime> <!-- Optional -->
</ServiceResource>
The following table describes the elements of the request body:
Element Name | Description |
---|---|
SourceDatabaseName | The name of the database to restore. |
SourceDatabaseDeletionDate | Optional. The date and time (including milliseconds) when the database was dropped. (Only applies to restoring a dropped database.) |
TargetDatabaseName | The name of the new database after restore. |
TargetUtcPointInTime | Optional. The point in time to restore the database from. |
Response
The response includes an HTTP status code, a set of response headers, and a response body.
Status Code
Response Headers
The response for this operation includes the following headers. The response may also include additional standard HTTP headers. All standard headers conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol specification.
Response Header | Description |
---|---|
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. |
