Database Reference
In-Depth Information
For step-by-step instructions on how to create your Azure account, see Chapter 3. When you create
your Azure account, you're required to create an administrator account for SQL Azure. This account is
used to create databases and other logins.
Creating a Database in SQL Azure
When the SQL Azure server is created, the master database is provisioned automatically. This database is
read-only and contains configuration and security information for your databases. You can then create
your user databases. You can either use the SQL Azure portal or issue a T-SQL statement against the
master database.
Using the SQL Azure Portal
One way to create a database is to do so from the SQL Azure portal. From the Server Administration
screen, click Create Database at the bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure 1-4.
