Deploy databases to Windows Azure VM

What’s being delivered• New wizard to deploy databases to

SQL Server in Windows Azure VM• Can also create a new Windows Azure

VM if needed

Main benefits• Easy to use

• Perfect for database administrators new to Azure and for ad hoc scenarios

• Complexity hidden• Detailed Azure knowledge not needed• Almost no overhead: defining factor for

time-to-transfer is database size

Scenarios: SQL Server Data Files in Windows Azure

Windows Azure Storage

SQL Server Data Files in Windows Azure

Create database syntax does not change:

Restore is simply an attach operation:

Using Visual Studio SQL Server Project

• Where is the source of your Database?

• How do you update SP and Function?
