Introduction to SQL Azure

The first step in working with SQL Azure is to set up an account and provision a server. It only take a couple of minutes and when you're done you'll have a server name and a full fledged DNS path to it as well. We'll have more on this topic soon!

Very Basic but glad to see what SQL Azure looks like.

Lawrence on 5/19/2010

What is SQL Asure? What is it used for?

Kenneth Wymore on 5/19/2010

Easy to follow. A short 2-3 sentence blurb at the beginning about what SQL Azure is and why you might use it would have been nice.

Pretty basic, but good for people who have no idea where to start with SQL Azure.

Stephanie Brown on 5/19/2010

No reall content !

At the point right after accepting the agreement I'm asked for an invitation code; since I don't have one, I'm given the option of joining the mailing list, which I did, at which point it says the CTP is closed. Is there any way around this?

Ahmad Elayyan on 5/19/2010

nice one

ML Stephens on 5/19/2010

good start

concoran on 5/19/2010

I guess this share came a little late as Azure CTP is closed. I don't know how to access Azure unless I purchase it.

Arun on 5/19/2010

good one ... but need a long session on this topic :)

Devin Knight on 5/20/2010

Bryant Byrd on 5/25/2010

Good instructions on how to get started but not really an "introduction". I still don't know what SQL Azue can do for me.

Steve Culshaw on 5/29/2010

Basic starter

Desmond Cassidy on 6/4/2010
