In this lab, you have looked at the basics of working with SQL Azure. If you have any SQL Server experience, you may have found the lab familiar and that is, indeed, the point. Working with SQL Azure should be very familiar to anyone who has worked with SQL Server.

You learned to create new databases, logins and users for those databases. You saw that for the most part, you could simply create objects in SQL Azure as you would with an on-premise SQL Server.

In addition, you created a simple Windows Azure application that is able to consume a SQL Azure database.

Finally, you saw that creating connections to SQL Azure using Microsoft technologies is the same as creating connections to any normal on-premise database.
