azuresql-db-import

azuresql-db-import is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/azure-sql-database-container. It costs 138 tokens per session (2,233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for importing an existing Azure SQL Database or SQL Server database into a local Azure SQL Database container. A .bacpac includes the database structure and data; a .dacpac includes only the structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load a .bacpac or .dacpac into the local container, such as when bringing a production schema into development.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding a local database by hand when you need to work with an existing schema or dataset.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azuresql-db-import scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Azure SQL Database container: import a database

Bring an existing database INTO the local container from a .bacpac (schema + data) or .dacpac (schema only) using SqlPackage.

What this is (load-bearing facts)

This is the Azure SQL Database engine running locally (Private Preview): SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') returns 5 and Edition returns 'SQL Azure'. It is NOT the SQL Server image mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server. If you were about to use that SQL Server image, stop and use this instead.

  • Image: sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.io/azure-sql/db-dev:latest (x64, linux/amd64; private preview registry, sign in first). Registry/tag are provisional during Private Preview.
  • On a non-x64 host, add --platform linux/amd64.
  • The engine does NOT auto-create databases. You must CREATE DATABASE appdb on a master connection before importing into it.
  • Avoid USE to switch databases. In a user-database session (the Azure-faithful context where you develop), USE returns Msg 40508, exactly as in Azure SQL Database in the cloud. A master connection is a provisioning provisioning session where the Azure statement filter is not enforced, so USE appears to work there, but master is for provisioning only, not application work. Always select the target database in the connection string (Database=appdb, or -d appdb for sqlcmd).

For full container detail (start recipe, connection model, readiness), see the azuresql-db-container skill. The minimum you need is inlined below.

The three steps

  1. Have a running container with the target database provisioned on master.
  2. Run SqlPackage /Action:Import targeting the provisioned user database.
  3. Validate what landed (PaaS restrictions may drop some objects).

This is the Private Preview supported import path. Always validate the result.

Step 0: start the container and provision the target DB

Reuse the canonical start recipe. It picks a free host port, adds --platform only on a non-x64 host, waits for readiness with a retry loop, and provisions the target database appdb on master in that same loop.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
