Use datamasker with Azure database

BobF

Can datamasker be used with an Azure SQL database?

Hi @BobF thank you for your post.
Data Masker for SQL Server can absolutely be used with Azure SQLDB, when you first set up your controller, tick the box that says Cloud Mode, remember to put in the connection information, then you should be good to go!
Let me know if you have any further questions - thank you very much.

Thank you dOCTOClone, I have to admit that when playing around with our companies copy of DataMasker.  That I completely missed that tick box!   Hopefully that will encouage our client one step closer to a purchase

Does Data Masker work with Azure SQL DB for Static masking?  There is already a built in native capability for Dynamic masking but MS took away the option of static masking in recent SSMS versions and we are wondering if there is an option for Data Masker to do static masking as well to help with our requirements.
