    <p>I am a relative newbie when it comes to SQL Azure!! I was wondering if there was a definitive list somewhere regarding what is and is not supported by SQL Azure in regards to SQL Server 2008? I have had a look through google but I've noticed some of the blog posts are missing things which I have found through my own testing:</p> <p>For example, quite a lot is summarised in this blog entry <a href="http://www.keepitsimpleandfast.com/2009/12/main-differences-between-sql-azure-and.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.keepitsimpleandfast.com/2009/12/main-differences-between-sql-azure-and.html</a> </p> <ul> <li>Common Language Runtime (CLR)</li> <li>Database file placement</li> <li>Database mirroring</li> <li>Distributed queries</li> <li>Distributed transactions</li> <li>Filegroup management</li> <li>Global temporary tables</li> <li>Spatial data and indexes</li> <li>SQL Server configuration options</li> <li>SQL Server Service Broker</li> <li>System tables</li> <li>Trace Flags</li> </ul> <p>which is a repeat of the MSDN page <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394115.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394115.aspx</a></p> <p>I've noticed from my own testing that the following seem to have issues when migrating from SQL Server 2008 to the Azure:</p> <ul> <li>XML Types (the msdn does mention large custom types - I guess it may include this?? even if the data schema is really small?)</li> <li>Multi-part views</li> </ul> <p>I've been using <a href="http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SQL Azure Migration Wizard v3.1.8</a> to migrate local databases into the cloud.</p> <p>I was wondering if anyone could point to a list or give me any information till when these features are likely to be included in SQL Azure.</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.
