Database Replicas

Replica 2

Replica 3

DB

Single Logical Database

Multiple Physical Replicas

Single Primary

Logical vs. Physical

SQL Azure focus on logical administration Schema creation and management Query optimization Security management (Logins, Users, Roles)

Service handles physical management Automatically replicated with HA “out of box” Transparent failover in case of failure Load balancing of data to ensure SLA

Logical vs. Physical Administration

DBA role places more focus on logical management

Customer Evidence

Demo – SQL Azure Portal

Demo - Portal for DB (Houston)

Each account has zero or more servers Azure wide, provisioned in a common portal Billing instrument

Each server has one or more databases Contains metadata about the databases and usage Unit of authentication Unit of Geo-location Generated DNS based name

Each database has standard SQL objects Unit of consistency Unit of multi-tenancy Contains Users, Tables, Views, Indices, etc. Most granular unit of billing

Database

SQL Azure Database Access

Web Portal(API)

Your App

Change Connection String

Use ADO.NET, ODBC, PHP (NOT OLE DB) Client libraries pre-installed in Azure roles Support for ASP.NET controls

Clients connect directly to a database Cannot hop across DBs (no USE) May need to include <login>@<server> Use familiar tools (sqlcmd, osql, SSMS, etc) Use connection pooling for efficiency

SSMS 2008 R2 can connect http

Connection Model

Connecting to SQL Azure with SSMS 2008 R2

Houston Client – Silverlight (Portal)

SQLCMD – can also be used SSIS – can also be used SSRS/SSIS/SSAS – w/SQL

Azure as source data – use R2 versions

Demo – Connect via tools

SSMS 2008 R2 – Cloud vs. On Premise

Query Optimizer and Client Statistics can be used with SQL Azure data

Feature not yet implemented Physical layer – Microsoft handles it

Commodity vs. Business Multi-tenant

We must play nice together

Compatibility Overview

Maximum single database size is 50GB Database size calculation

Includes: primary replica data, objects and indexes Does NOT include: logs, master database, system tables,

server catalogs or additional replicas Announced CTP support for auto-partitioning & fan-out

queries (Federation) Currently must handle partitioning logic within the

application Also called Database ‘sharding’ Sharding Utility, using TPL at

Summary– Database Migration

Custom applications Can use Windows Azure – not required Can connect via any client with valid

connection string Microsoft applications

Connectivity into Office applications Excel, Excel PowerPivot, SharePoint, etc…

Connectivity into BI applications SSRS, SSIS, SSAS

Application Integration

Local and Cloud-Based

No SDK required – simply change connection string from local to cloud copy of DB

Simple – just change the connection string! All compatibility requirements must be met (T-SQL) in

the DDL Create destination DB schema and populate with data Firewall rules set up via SQL Azure portal (test

connectivity) Nothing to install, no SDK required
