What is azuresql-db-local-to-cloud?

Proves that code built and tested against the local Azure SQL Database container runs unchanged against Azure SQL Database in the cloud, with only the connection string changing. Use when a user wants to develop locally then deploy to the cloud, asks "will this work in Azure", "same code local and cloud", "promote to Azure SQL", "swap the connection string", "dev/prod parity", "local to cloud", or is wiring SQL_CONNECTION_STRING for an app that must target both the container and a cloud server. Use this when an app uses local SA auth but needs Microsoft Entra auth in the cloud. Covers Node (mssql), .NET (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient), and Python (pyodbc). Reach for this skill before hand-editing app code to "make it work in Azure"; the rule is the code does not change, only the connection string does.

Azure SQL Developer to Azure SQL Database: same code, local to cloud

Build and test against the local Azure SQL Developer, then deploy the same application code to Azure SQL Database in the cloud. Only the connection string changes. Nothing else.

This works because the local container is the Azure SQL Database engine, not the SQL Server image. SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') returns 5 and SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') returns 'SQL Azure', the same as the cloud. So the SQL surface your code depends on is the same in both places.

The one rule

Do not change application code between local and cloud. The application reads
