SQL Azure offers a relational data store as part of the Windows Azure platform. It is highly available and requires less maintenance than a traditional on-premises SQL Server installation.

This allows developers to jump quickly into a familiar environment and get started.

SQL Azure is a managed service. Microsoft handles all the basic maintenance and administration issues for you...
