 - Tables with vector indexes can't be truncated using `TRUNCATE TABLE`. To remove all data, drop the vector index first, truncate the table, repopulate with at least 100 rows, then recreate the index. For more information, see [TRUNCATE TABLE restrictions](../functions/vector-search-transact-sql.md#truncate-table-restrictions).
 
+- Vector indexes can't be deployed with DacPac or BACPAC. Vector indexes require at least 100 rows with non-NULL vectors at creation time. When you import a database using DacPac, BACPAC, or the Import/Export service, the import process creates schema objects (including vector indexes) before loading data, which causes the import to fail.
+
+  **Workaround**: Drop vector indexes before exporting the database, and recreate the indexes after import.
+
 ### Minimum data requirements
 
 Vector indexes require a minimum number of rows with non-NULL vector values before the index can be created.
