Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services (and not only). In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

ShortIntroduction
•Windows Azure Compute: Virtualized compute environment based on Windows ServerStorage: Durable, scalable, & available storageManagement: Automated, model-driven management of the service
•SQL Azure (cloud-based database) Database: Relational processing for structured/unstructured data
•App Fabric (.NET services) Service Bus: General purpose application busAccess Control: Rules-driven, claims-based access control

Security Requirementsfor AzurePlatform
AsaServiceProviderMicrosofthasanobligationtopassingtheseveralrulesforsecurity:
•ISO/IEC27001:2005
•SAS70Type1andII
Alsotheypassing(continuisly)severaldatasecuringaudits:
•PCIDSS
•SOXcompliance
•HIPAAcompliance
AndofcourserequirementsforDataCenters:
•Physical security of the data centers (locks, cameras, biometric devices, card readers, alarms)
•Firewalls, application gateways and IDS to protect the network
•Access Control Lists (ACLs) applied to virtual local area networks (VLANs) and applications
•Authentication and authorization of persons or processes that request access to data
•Hardening of the servers and operating system instances
•Redundant internal and external DNS infrastructure with restricted write access
•Securing of virtual machine objects
•Securing of static and dynamic storage containers

PART ONE: SQL Azure
We want to work with SQL Azure (oops SQL Database)
Size doesit matter?
Personal: 1GB, 5GB
Business: 10GB, 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, 50GB, 100GB, 150GB (3x50)
“Private”: less than 100 MB ($4.995 / month)
Version does it matter?
10.25 my firstexperience, but afterJuly 2011 Service Release…
11.00 now> closeto SQL Server 2012
Collation does it matter?
defaultcollation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
table level collation
error msg 40544:
The database has reached its size quota. Partition or delete data, drop indexes, or consult the documentation for possible resolutions.

11. #sqlsatMoscow
PART ONE: SQL Database
Naming, Logins, Users
Admin, administrator, guest, root, sa
Data Migration Support
Youcanuse:
SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS)
The bulkcopyutility(BCP.exe)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopyclass
Scripts thatuseINSERT statementsto loaddata intothe database
SQL Data Compare from Red Gate
Youcan'tuse:
The RESTORE statement.
Attachinga databaseto the SQL Database server.
No SQL Server Agent (almost)
No SQL Server jobs
No SQL Server Browser
No Cross Database queries

12. #sqlsatMoscow
PART ONE: SQL Database
Indexes, of courseindexes
You MUST use CLUSTERED INDEX with your (Azure)SQL Database.
Heap tables are not supportes, so You MUST create CLUSTERED INDEX before INSERT will be executed
error msg 40054:
Tables without a clustered index are not supported in this version of SQL Server.Create a clustered index and try again.
CREATETABLESource(IdintNOTNULLIDENTITY, [Name]nvarchar(max),
CONSTRAINT[PK_Source]PRIMARYKEYCLUSTERED
(
[Id]ASC
))

13. #sqlsatMoscow
PART ONE: SQL Database
Closed connections to the service… by the service
Becauseof multi-tenant:
Excessive resource usage
Connections that have been idle for 30 minutes or longer (Program assuming your connection is going to fail)
Failover because of server failures
errors:
40197, 40501, 40544, 40549, 40550, 40551, 40552, 40553, and 40613

Connection Model
When writing applications for Windows Azure SQL Database, you can use the following drivers and libraries:
• .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient) from the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later.
• Entity Framework from the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later.
• SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC driver. SQL Server 2008 Native Client ODBC driver is also supported, but has less functionality.
• SQL Server 2008 Driver for PHP version 1.1 or later.
• An updated version of SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0 that supports SQL Database.
Windows Azure SQL Database supports tabular data stream (TDS) protocol client version 7.3 or later. Earlier versions of TDS protocol are not supported.
Connecting to Windows Azure SQL Database by using OLE DB or ADO is not supported
Support for ASP.NET controls
Clients connect directly to a database

20. #sqlsatMoscow
Security Model
Uses regular SQL security model
Authenticate logins, map to users and roles
Authorize users and roles to SQL objects
Support for standard SQL Authlogins
Username + password
Future AD Federation, WLID–Windows Live ID, etcas alternate authentication protocols
[admin, administrator, guest, root, sa] Security model is 100% compatible with on-premise SQL

Point of Difference On-premise SQL Server Windows Azure SQL Database
Where you manage server-level security
The Security folder in SQL Server
Management Studio'sObject Explorer
The master database
Server-level security role for creating logins securityadmin fixed server role
loginmanager database role in the master
database
Commands for managing logins
CREATE LOGIN CREATE LOGIN
ALTER LOGIN ALTER LOGIN
DROP LOGIN DROP LOGIN
(There are some parameter limitations and you
must be connected to the master database)
View that shows all logins
sys.syslogins (sys.sql_logins for SQL Server
authentication logins)
sys.sql_logins
(You must be connected to
the master database)
Server-level role for creating databases dbcreator fixed database role
dbmanager database role in the master
database
Command for creating a database CREATE DATABASE
CREATE DATABASE
(There are some parameter limitations and you
must be connected to the master database)

DROP DATABASE
If a user is in the dbmanager role, they have
permission to DROP any database, regardless
of which user originally created it.
View that lists all databases
