Using SSMS  Limited GUI with SSMS 2012 or SSMS 2014 RTM  Need to write code  We can create database.  Need the azure syntax  SSMS 2014 SP1 gives better support  SSMS 2016 has more support especially for v12  Can’t use “USE” 12 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

Linked Servers  Need to create ODBC DSN  System Server Native Client 11  Linked Server  Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers  Azure stored procedure you must enable RPC 13 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

How Many Ways to Create a Database?  +New Basic / Custom / Import  Restore  Copy  Create from Export  Direct from SSMS 30 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

Upgrade v11 to v12  Must use the new portal 32 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

Azure Web Management Portal  Web based SSMS like tool  GUI for database, tables, views procedures  No GUI for managing users  Can run Queries  Can view execution plans  At the time of writing there is only a web portal for v11 databases. 33 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

Clustered Index  In a V11 database tables must have a clustered index  It is still possible to create a table without one  But you can’t use it  If you get your clustered index wrong you can’t drop it 34 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite
