Last night I got an email invitation to participate in the CTP release of SQL Azure. I have no idea how exclusive this is or is not, but it was nice just the same.
A short while ago I filled out a form requesting an invitation. At one point I had to gave a brief description as to why I should be included. I wrote a couple of sentences describing my intentions and submitted. The last night the invitation arrived.
I filled out some more information regarding my account and created my first database. It was a little quirky, but I did manage to make a connection to the Azure database from SSMS.
I have been neglecting this blog for a while, but I plan to post a little more frequently as I take a deeper dive into Azure.
