Roadmap
Sql Data Services
A database ..... However not a RDBMS!
Current setup in CTP:
• Each user will be allowed 50Gb of storage across all Authorities
• 1000 Containers per Authority
• 1Gb of Blob Entities per Container (up from 500mb)
• 100mb of Flexible Entities per Container (up from 20mb)
• Each Blob Entity will be capped at 100mb

Metadata infomation (WSDL’s)
Access and authentication:
https://database.windows.net/soap/v1/
...imports messaging and CRUD pattern interface:
https://database.windows.net/soap/v1/schemas.microsoft.com.sitka.2008.03.wsdl
General syntax:
from e in entities [where condition] [orderby property 1 [,property 2, …]] select e
Comparison Operators:
>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=
Logical operators:
&& (and), || (or),! (not)
Syntax difference - mandatory system entity metadata vs entity properties:
from e in entities where e.Id == "id234985798" select e
or
from e in entities where e["firstname"] == "Jens" select e
Ofkind():
from e in entities.OfKind(”customer”) select e
Take():
(from e in entities where e[“firstname”] == “Jens" select e).Take(10)
Take(from e in entities.OfKind(“customer“) select e, 10)
Join support:
from c in entities.OfKind(“customer“) where c[“firstname"] == “Jens" from o in
entities.OfKind(“order“) where o[“customerId"] == c.Id select o
Containers
All containers in Authority:
https://{AuthorityID}.data.database.windows.net/v1/?q=
Container “customer”:
https://{AuthorityID}.data.database.windows.net/v1/?q="from%20e%20in%
20entities%20where%20e.Id==“customer"%20select%20e"
Entities
All entities in container:
https://{authority-id}.data.database.windows.net/v1/{container-id}?q=''
Select specific entity:
https://{AuthorityID}.data.database.windows.net/v1/{containerid}?q="from
%20e%20in%20entities%20where%20e.Id==“id23243532"%20select%20e"
<wsdl:message name="ISitkaSoapService_Query_InputMessage">
<wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:Query" />
</wsdl:message>
<xs:element name="Query">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="scope" type="tns:Scope" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="query" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
...and the same query string as the REST examples!
