If you don't want to lose any data, you have to stop using it for the moment of transfer. I can suggest you couple of ways: First way is to use the <a href="http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">SQL Azure Migration Wizard</a>. Yes. Although it is originally designed to migrate your local SQL DB to SQL Azure, it can be used the other way around. I've done in numerous times. Just first point the migration wizard to your SQL Azure instance, then target the local server. Second way is to use the Azure SQL Database backup. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj650016.aspx#import_export" rel="nofollow">Create a bacpac archive</a> either using the portal or via SSMS. Then <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh710052.aspx" rel="nofollow">import this BacPac package into your local SQL Server</a> instance. If you don't want downtime and want full data synchronization I will suggest doing the following: <ol> <li>Move schema and data initially using any of the above methods (for live systems I highly recommend to first a new database AS COPY and then create the BacPac from it, or use the Migration wizard to transfer it).</li> <li>Enable the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh456371.aspx" rel="nofollow">SQL Data Sync</a> to begin synchronizing local data with on-going live data.</li> <li>Wait while local is fully in sync.</li> <li>Switch the connection strings in your app.</li> <li>Cut down SQL Azure.</li> </ol>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
