Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Note that the upper-left area of the page has changed. You now have two menu items—Database
and Table—and the list of icons available is different. You can see in Figure A-4 that the Design icon is
selected. Clicking Data shows the table's actual records, as shown in Figure A-5.

Table content
You can also perform other tasks in Houston, such as running SQL statements against the database
and managing views and stored procedures. Similar to editing a table, you can manage a view or a stored
procedure by clicking the desired object name at left. A new tab opens, and you can manage the selected
object.
As you can see from the figures, Houston is a simplified management interface that allows you to
perform basic tasks against a SQL Azure database. Although Houston is created as a web application,
none of the links open new pages; this makes navigation faster and simpler because all the management
options are available on the same page.
