SQL Azure Feature Voting

That idea has been deleted

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

More info...

- enter your idea (new feature, new scenario, etc) -

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

Support full-text indexing

Our application is heavily dependent on it. So this is a blocker right now.

thanks, we hear you loud and clear. Free text search is planned for SQL Azure. Right now I can’t give you a date.
Enable backups

We need the ability to do backups. Just simple, standard backup files that we could create and download at the very least. It doesn't have to go directly blob storage or all these other suggestions. But we really, really need backups to use SQL Azure for production. Not data sync, not bcp, not SqlAzureMW -- just regular old sql server backups.

For information about what’s coming from SQL Azure, go to about 38:00 in this presentation from TechEd. http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2011/DBI313
Make SQL-Azure 100% T-SQL compatible

I script I maintain/exported from an on-premise site should just run on the cloud.

It doesn't matter if it implements some tokens as a No-OP or with warnings or notes. But it should compile unaltered and run on Azure.

Enable Transparent Data Encryption

Enabling TDE would go a long way to help placate business sponsors concerned about their data being housed in Microsoft's datacenters. Even though the cloud is arguably more secure than doing it yourself, turning on TDE would provide a warm fuzzy feeling to those not comfortable with the concept.

We have several improvements around encryption, including data at rest and during use. Today I don’t have a timeframe that I can share.

Full Management Studio Support

Currently you can only run queries against SQL Azure databases. It would be good to get the rest of management studio working (object explorer etc.)

We have an early look at this feature on our incubation site at https://www.sqlazurelabs.com . Please provide us feedback on this feature by emailing sqlazurelabs@microsoft.com
Add support for ASP.NET sessions in SQL Azure

Please add support for ASP.NET sessions in SQL Azure. Although the membership and roles providers currently work with SQL Azure, the session provider does not. If we have more than 1 instance of our web roles we are forced to use the custom ASP.NET session provider that uses Azure Storage which is very slow and buggy. I have a whole thread on this in the forums: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazure/thread/b87cadf1-2918-43d3-972f-0fb32f13d5ca

XMLNAMESPACES alternative in sql azure

Hi,

We are planning to shift our enterprise application to windows azure platform...

but we have critical issue where we are using XMLNAMESPACES in attribute level ... since sql azure is not supporting this syntax what can be the best alternative or will it be supported in future sql azure features.....

this is business based enterprise application developed based on client requirements we cannot change the xml format.. so please provide best alternative ..please see the sample below

DECLARE @x xml ,
@L_C VARCHAR(10),
@l_cnt numeric(10),
@doc int
BEGIN
SET @x='<F CT:I="54" CT:Ins="" CT:F="1" CT:X="F$F$" xmlns:CT="your:namespace" DEF="1">
</F>'
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES ('your:namespace' as "CT")
SELECT c.value('@CT:I','NUMERIC(10)') AS CT_I,
c.value('@C','NUMERIC(10)') AS C FROM @x.nodes('//F') AS T(c)
END

Implement FILESTREAM for blobs into Azure Blob Store

Storing blobs in the database is fairly pointless when you have a dedicated blob store. Implement the FILESTREAM protocol to store blobs in a user's azure storage
