First assess and fix issues, then deploy the target, then migrate schema, then data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assess database compatibility, then fix compatibility issues, then deploy Azure SQL Database, then migrate schema and data
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because DMA first assesses the on-premises database for compatibility issues, then you fix those issues, deploy the target Azure SQL Database, and finally migrate the schema and data.
- ✗
Deploy Azure SQL Database, then assess database compatibility, then fix compatibility issues, then migrate schema and data
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because deploying the target before assessing and fixing issues may lead to a target database that does not support the source schema, causing migration failures.
- ✗
Assess database compatibility, then deploy Azure SQL Database, then fix compatibility issues, then migrate schema and data
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because fixing compatibility issues should be done before deploying the target, as the fixes ensure the schema is compatible with Azure SQL Database, allowing a smooth deployment.
- ✗
Migrate schema and data, then assess database compatibility, then fix compatibility issues, then deploy Azure SQL Database
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because migration must be the last step after ensuring compatibility, fixing issues, and deploying the target; otherwise, the migration will likely fail.
