+# Creating the BACPAC file
+
+BACPAC is the SQL server backup format, the BACPAC file we used in the ARM template contains empty tables with predefined schemas, which are required by the registry service. 
+
+In case you need to re-create the BACPAC file, follow these steps: 
+
+1. Create a new, empty SQL database on Azure 
+![Create Empty Database](../images/bacpac-sql-database.png)
+
+2. Connect to the database with a SQL client, such as Azure Data Studio, run the SQL script at https://github.com/linkedin/feathr/blob/main/registry/sql-registry/scripts/schema.sql 
+
+3. Now we created the tables required by the registry service, we can use “Export” function to create the BACPAC file

+
+After this step, the database is not needed anymore.
