  • you need an account – get one from sql.azure.com - it takes some time for your access information to arrive by email.
  • download the sample database using link above
  • extract/unzip to a known location
  • make sure you add your home/work/workstation actual external facing ip address to the firewall settings
  • wait for 5-10 mins for your ip address to be accepted by the azure online firewall system
  • run the script commands below

See commands/reference pictures below:

Server Name:        serverx        serverx.database.windows.net
Administrator Username:     userx
Server Location:     South Central US
db name: ankh

cd dw

I’ve just signed up for a development account with which to test this from Microsoft Connect. This is Microsoft’s step one into cloud computing and a Community Technology Preview on this was given at PDC 2008. I’ll update this as my testing goes on.
