    <p>There are fundamental <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg432960.aspx" rel="noreferrer">differences</a> between Compute and Compute emulator, as well as <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg433135.aspx#" rel="noreferrer">differences</a> between Storage and Storage emulator. While the links I provided may be a bit outdated (I can't find more recent ones), there are a few immediate things that you should see:</p> <p><strong>Compute</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Load balancer behaves differently (for instance: you can still access instances taken out of rotation)</li> <li>Instances run in processes vs full virtual machines (meaning you can't test startup scripts that install software, without first uninstalling software locally)</li> <li>No SLA whatsoever</li> <li>Your environment is only as secure as your local computer</li> <li>IP address management is different</li> <li>No support for virtual networks (you won't be able to interoperate with Virtual Machines, for example, via internal ports)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Storage</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>No scaling (Azure Storage is a massive multi-tentant system, scaling easily as request traffic rises)</li> <li>No durability (Azure Storage is triple-replicated and optionally geo-replicated; local storage sits in a SQL database)</li> <li>Blobs are limited to 2GB (vs 200GB / 1TB in Azure Storage) <ul> <li>Several other differences across Table and Queue storage)</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>Also: You'll have no command-line control of your emulated deployment (no PowerShell, no CLI), and you won't be able to view/set anything via the portal.</p> <p>There <em>are</em> services you can run locally on Windows Server, such as Service Bus and Cache, and you can even install the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn296435.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Azure Pack</a> for Windows Server.</p> <p>Bottom line: You're not running in Azure with the emulator; your code is executed in local processes with a local standalone database process. You'll have 0 SLA, non-redundant storage, absolutely no visibility into overall system health... It's simply not a production environment.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
