SQL Data ServicesEnabling Applications

Extend to Cloud• Integrate with existing solutions• Data Platform solutions scale to cloud

Low friction deployment and scaling• Pay as you go scaling• Don’t need to provision to peak demand

Create secure data hubs• Secure access and movement of structured data• Across devices, locations, partners

Planned vs. Required Capacity

Azure Storage vs SDS

Windows Azure Storage“Essential storage

service in the cloud”

Provides a core set of non-relational storage and retrieval abstractions at massive scale

SQL Data Services“Premium database

service in the cloud”

Extends the rich capabilities of the SQL data platform to the cloud at scale Relational data processing

over structured and unstructured data

Integrate with key data platform capabilities – e.g. Data Analytics, Reporting, ETL

No Schema Required

Concepts of ACE

Containment Layer

Definition Purpose SQL Server Analogy

Authority Set of containers Groups containers for accounting, security & co-location

A SQL Server instance

Container Set of entities Groups entities for content & queries

An individual database (heterogeneous) or a table (homogeneous)

Entity Set of properties A unit of storage An individual storage

Authentication And Authorization

Basic authentication – username and passwordIntegrate with .NET Access Control Services for richer authentication models

Role based authorization – Future

Accessing Data From The Cloud

RESTPOX / JSON

SOAP

XML

HTTP Verbs to SDS Operation

HTTP Verb SDS Operation

POST Create

GET Fetch, Query

PUT Update

DELETE Delete

Accessing Through SOAP

Add a Service Reference Tohttps://database.windows.net/soap/v1/

Create an instance of SitkaSoapServiceClient Accessible from any language and any SOAP Toolkit

Creating Authorities, Containers & Entities

Demo

SDSQuery language

Textual query language through web-service head, passed in as literal text stringLanguage patterned after C# LINQ syntax

from e in container where e.Kind == “Tamil” &&

e[“Director”] == “Mani Ratnam” &&

e[“Year”] == “2007” select e

Query supported over metadata and data properties
