Working on Azure November CTP version is quite exciting. Azure provides various way to store and presist data if needed. One way is using Azure Storage (Blobs, Tables and Queues). The other way is using SQL Azure. Which is a relational database.
To lay your hands on SQL Azure you would need an invitation code which would be be available after you register in http://sql.azure.com. The invitation code was provided to me after a week since i registered. Once received you would need to enter the invitation code on http://sql.azure.com to create database and tables. The limitation of SQL Azure as of now is that the database can of maximum 10 GB size. Note the service is free till Jan 2010, hence forth it will be charged based on the consumption. For SQL Azure only support SQL Authentication.
