    GO

    SQL Azure doesn't allow the CHECK_POLCY clause.  See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189751.aspx

    Why would you want to create a weak password?  I think the CHECK_POLICY option is intended only for legacy applications.

  • Hello,

    That works, but not in azure database (sql as a service).

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Yes, that's true, I've received confirmation from MS support.

    That's unfortunate, because this way I can't migrate a SQL DB that is currently used by more than 1500 clients (POS with hardcoded SQL server user and password)
