Getting Started with SQL Azure The excitement of cloud computing really changes people how to develop their application. Talking about application, it is almost impossible to proceed without the database. Microsoft® SQL Azure Database is a cloud-based relational database service built on SQL Server technologies. It provides a highly available, scalable, multi-tenant database service hosted by Microsoft in the cloud. SQL Azure Database helps to ease provisioning and deployment of multiple databases. Developers do not have to install, setup, patch or manage any software. High availability and fault tolerance is built-in and no physical administration is required.
