My new client is planning to use Azure managed SQL Database services. I am using dacpac in order to deploy the database. In the dacpac, I have a post-deployment script in order to create a sql user as follows
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT name
FROM sys.server_principals
WHERE name = 'myusername')
BEGIN
CREATE LOGIN myusername
WITH PASSWORD = '******';
END
GO
However, it is throwing the following error when I try to apply dacpac in Azure (which is compiled with target platform - Microsoft Azure SQL Database V12).
An error occurred while the batch was being executed.
Updating database (Failed)
*** Could not deploy package.
Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 4 Invalid object name 'sys.server_principals'.
Error SQL72045: Script execution error. The executed script:
From the message it seems that I can not depend the sys.server_principals
object.
How can I overcome this? Is there any equivalent for this?
