    Easy way to identify federated tables

    Currently the only way to determine which tables in a federation are federated is to do a join between sys.objects and sys.federated_table_columns. It would be nice to have a field in sys.objects similar to the federated field added to sys.databases.

    Send Email when nearing database MaxSize Limit

    It would be great if SQL Azure would send out an email when your database was reaching it's MaxSize limit. This would allow for us to increase the quota BEFORE our applications go down due to "database full" exceptions!

    allow use of regular expressions and other usefull CLR methods

    Because CLR support is not yet planned I suggest to add few public CLR methods to MASTER database like RegExSearch, RegExReplace etc. Full list of these methods (t-sql CLR functions) should be of course discussed bellow. Hope this suggestion is reasonable ;)

    We have a number of fundamental requirements listed in this forum but the only one delivered to date appears to be Spatial Coordinates. It appears you're not listening which is something Microsoft has been severely criticised for previously.
