We are about to implement the Read portion of our CQRS system in-house with the goal being to vastly improve our read performance. Currently our reads are conducted through a web service which runs a Linq-to-SQL query against normalised data, involving some degree of deserialization from an SQL Azure database. The simplified structure of our data is: User Conversation (Grouping of Messages to the same recipients) Message Recipients (Set of Users) I want to move this into a denormalized state, so that when a user requests to see a feed of messages it reads from EITHER: A denormalized

I've got a problem with a code-first model I've got. Data is now in the database so I can't re-seed the database using a DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges class, but I need to change one table so that a bigint column is not an IDENTITY(1,1). I've managed to do this using SSMS but now my EF code is saying it's out of date. This is the code for the table in question: public class Vote { [Required, Key, DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)] public long FacebookUserId { get; set; } [Required] public Entity Entity { get; set; } } So I've changed my table schema, and my model (which I

I saw a post today about implementing SqlAzureExecutionStrategy: http://romiller.com/tag/sqlazureexecutionstrategy/ However, all examples I can find of this use a Configuration that inherits from DbConfiguration. My project is using EF6 Code First Migrations, and the Configuration it created inherits from DbMigrationsConfiguration. This class doesn't contain a definition for SetExecutionStrategy, and I can find no examples that actually combine SqlAzureExecutionStrategy (or any SetExecutionStrategy) with DbMigrationsConfiguration. Can this be done? If anyone else comes across this question,

I would like to change the default database for a login to support software that can access SQL Azure but does not allow easy alteration of a connection string. It appears that SQL Azure defaults to the master database. I've already considered: Stored procedures. I can't find a stored procedure that does this ( sp_defaultdb is not implemented in SQL Azure as far as I can tell) Alter Login. ALTER LOGIN does not permit the DEFAULT_DATABASE option. SSMS. SSMS doesn't seem to allow much user control through the interface for SQL Azure. Ideas? Connection String: Server=tcp:[serverName].database

I am working on a project designed to run on azure platform using Azure database and Locally using local sql server. We have stored procedure that contain cross database calls. However It doesn't works on Azure server.I need cross database queries that capable of working in both azure and local sql server. We an use Elastic Query which allows us to query across Azure SQL Databases https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-elastic-query-overview/ We can setup external data source in azure server Using following code. In this case we can execute cross database calls

Hi My company is deciding for switching its existing application to azure platform (only Sql Part). So we need to upload our db from local to cloud. For migration i came across various tools like 1. cerebrata 's tools 2. SqlAzure Migration wizard 3. Microsoft Sql Data Sync 4. Conventional Script way via management studio. But all the above tools showed that they have limited capacity. A user cannot work flawlessly on either of the tool. In cerebrata's tool - the main drawback was its field for Application User Name and Application Key , which my admin havent shared. Also there is manual
