I'd like to import a bacpac file that was exported from an 500MB DB that however has around 25000 tables. The bacpac itself is around 18MB.
Importing through the UI of SQL Server Management Studio fails with OutOfMemoryException so I'd use SqlPackage.exe the following way:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Import /SourceFile:"path\to\MyDB.bacpac" /TargetConnectionString:"Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True;"
I successfully used this command to do the import with previous (smaller, having fewer tables) versions of the DB, but now it fails with the below output. Can I do anything here?
Importing to database 'MyDB' on server 'localhost'.
