    There's two ways:
    1. Edit Azure to use your current database table names and structures.
    2. Edit your database to use Azure's current database table names and structures.

    They both have some positives and negatives.

    For number 1, you don't need advanced SQL knowledge, but it does take a lot of time. Plus Azure still gets updated by the developers, so by the time you are done, Azure will already be out with new updates. So then you either have to add those updates to your current Azure build manually or download the new revision and start all over again with editing the source.

    For number 2, you do need advanced SQL knowledge. Sometimes you have to split up loads of your current tables or switch around columns to let it work. After that you can use Azure without editing the source, which is a big plus if you're not a programmer yourself.

    If you can't do either of those and don't know anybody who can, then I suggest you start over with a clean Azure database and let all your users re-register.

    I'd recommend sticking with Butterfly until Azure is in a stage where it can actually be used in a production environment.

    If you look at all the shit related to Azure such as help threads and the spam that goes on asking for help inside the actual Azure thread, you'd realise it's not worth switching over to.

    I recommend updating your catalogue & adding the commands to your Emulator.
