SQL Azure Lessons Learned: Embarcadero

  • Article

SQL-Azure_rgbDatabase tooling is important for many developers and DBAs as they manage numerous databases across the enterprise and the cloud.  In this episode of Azure Lessons Learned I chat with Scott Walz, Sr. Director Product Management at Embarcadero Technologies responsible for the DBArtisan product.

Scott walks us through the DBArtisan product to show how SQL Azure integrates seamlessly into this cross-DBMS product.  It was interesting to hear how quickly the effort to add SQL Azure went.  I think that bodes well for other tooling in general for SQL Azure.  Since SQL Azure is so very close to SQL Server it should be relatively simple for ISVs to add SQL Azure support to products that support SQL Server today.

Scott mentions a DBArtisan download for SQL Azure.  You can grab that here.

    DBArtisan looks like a great product that is very much needed to complete the SQL Azure user experience.While this seems like something Microsoft would want to back, being a complementary product to the SQL Azure service, it seems like it may compete against Microsoft's Project "Houston" (http://bit.ly/5v6Ko6), which was announced at PDC in November and currently in development.What do you anticipate the Embarcadero/Microsoft relationship will be like once (and if) Houston solidifies?(I am contracting for M80, working with Microsoft to promote Windows Azure)
