Windows Azure Platform

Compute: Virtualized compute environment

Storage: Durable, scalable, & available storage

Management: Automated, model-driven

management

Database: Relational processing for

structured/unstructured data – Data Marketplace

Service Bus: General purpose application bus

Access Control: Rules-driven, claims-based

Database Replicas

Replica 3

DB

Single Logical Database

Multiple Physical Replicas

Single Primary

Logical vs. Physical

SQL Azure focus on logical administration Schema creation and management Query optimization Security management (Logins, Users, Roles)

Service handles physical management Automatically replicated with HA “out of box” Transparent failover in case of failure Load balancing of data to ensure SLA

Logical vs. Physical Administration

DBA role places more focus on logical management

Customer Evidence

Demo – SQL Azure Portal

Demo – DB Manager - Tables

Demo – DB Manager – Stored Procs

Each account has zero or more servers Azure wide, provisioned in a common portal Billing instrument

Each server has one or more databases Contains metadata about the databases and

usage Unit of authentication Unit of Geo-location Generated DNS based name

Each database has standard SQL objects Unit of consistency Unit of multi-tenancy Contains Users, Tables, Views, Indices, etc. Most granular unit of billing

Change Connection String

ADO.NET, ODBC, PHP (NOT OLE DB) Client libraries pre-installed ASP.NET controls

Clients connect directly to ONE database Cannot hop across DBs (no USE) May need to include

<login>@<server> Use familiar tools Use connection pooling for

efficiency

SSMS 2008 R2 – Cloud vs. On Premise

Query Optimizer and Client Statistics can be used with SQL Azure data

Commodity vs. Business Multi-tenant

We must play nice together

Compatibility Overview

Maximum single database size is 50GB Database size calculation

Includes: primary replica data, objects and indexes Does NOT include: logs, master database, system tables,

server catalogs or additional replicas CTP support for auto-partitioning & fan-out queries

(Federation) Currently must handle partitioning logic within the

application Also called Database ‘sharding’ Sharding Utility, using TPL at

http://enzosqlshard.codeplex.com/

What Could Go Wrong?

Progress!

Success!

Remove unsupported features, such as…

Migrating By Hand

USE DATABASE ON PRIMARY

(Filegroups) Extended Properties NOT FOR REPLICATION

Various Index options (WITH) Windows logins Unsupported XML features Remove DEFAULT NEWSEQUENTIALID() Encrypted Stored Procedures No Heap tables (all tables must have clustered indices) UDTs

Advanced Migration

Use Scripts and/or Tools bcp SSIS 3rd Party

Roadmap

Added new Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) Allows return of state information for health monitoring &

performance tuning sys.dm_exec_connections , _requests , _sessions,

_tran_database_transactions, _active_transactions, _partition_stats

Added ability to move between Web or Business edition ALTER DATABASE database_name { MODIFY (MAXSIZE = {1 | 10}

GB) }

Increased idle session conn timeout (from 5 to 30 minutes) Improves experience while using connection pooling and other

interactive tools

Improved long running transaction algorithm Allows import and export of much larger amounts of data without

having to chunk your data
