Add powershell script to remove master key info from a .bacpac #9

Closed pensivebrian closed 7 years ago

pensivebrian commented 7 years ago

When exporting a .bacpac from Azure SQLDB with auditing enabled, the .bacpac will contain a master key without a password in the model.xml. A master key without a password is an Azure SQLDB only feature, so it's presence prevents being able to import the .bacpac into an on-premise SQL Server database.

This script works around this limitation by extracting the model.xml and origin.xml from the .bacpac, removing the references to the master key, and creating a new .bacpac with the updated model.xml and origin.xml.

The resulting .bacpac can then be imported to an on-premise database.
