How to update the database?

I have a database_xxx.bak file of version 3,9.
And I downloaded the upgrade.sql file.
What with them to do? I read: "Once an upgrade script is downloaded, execute it over your database." How?

Best Regards.

I am having some difficulty with my Upgrades because I am running nop under Windows Server 2016 Core, so I have no GUI.

I am suing MS SQLEXPRESS and here is the command line that I am using to upgrade
sqmlcmd -U username -S compname\sqlver -d databasename -i upgrade.sql

Optionally you can add -o outputfile.txt to send the output to a file for evaluation.
You could also do -P Password, but I prefer to type it in myself

You can get the username, password, compname\sqlver, databasename, and Password from settings.txt in the App_Data folder

Hello Everyone,

My technical knowledge is quite limited on how to setup the hosting or configure settings. I never setup an SQL dB on an hosting. My basic knowledge is to go to the FTP upload the files to the relevant location and publish the site.

All I need to know is how to transfer my store from "A" hosting to Azure. If you can give me a step by step explanation with even simple bullet points that would be really great.

Really need your help!

Thank you very much
