Neuigkeiten in SQL Azure
Im Zuge der regelmäßigen Updates und Erweiterungen ist seit kurzem das SQL Azure Service Update 4 (SU4) live. Das SU4 enthält 3 Neuerungen: Datenbank copy, verbessertes Hilfe System und das web-basierdende Datenbank Management Tool für SQL Azure Datenbanken.
Hier sind die Details im Original:
- Support for database copy: Database copy allows you to make a real-time complete snapshot of your database into a different server in the data center. This new copy feature is the first step in backup support for SQL Azure, allowing you to get a complete backup of any SQL Azure database before making schema or database changes to the source database. The ability to snapshot a database easily is our top requested feature for SQL Azure. Note that this feature is in addition to our automated database replication, which keeps your data always available. The relevant MSDN Documentation is available here, titled: Copying Databases in SQL Azure.
- Additional MSDN Documentation: MSDN has created a new section called Development: How-to Topics (SQL Azure Database) which has links to information about how to perform common programming tasks with Microsoft SQL Azure Database.
- Update on "Houston": Microsoft Project Code-Named "Houston" is a light weight web-based database management tool for SQL Azure. Houston, which runs on top of Windows Azure, is now available in multiple datacenters, reducing the latency between the application and your SQL Azure database.
