30. How Many Ways to Create a Database?  +New Basic / Custom / Import  Restore  Copy  Create from Export  Direct from SSMS 30 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

31. Create a Database from Existing… 31 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

32. Upgrade v11 to v12  Must use the new portal 32 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

33. Azure Web Management Portal  Web based SSMS like tool  GUI for database, tables, views procedures  No GUI for managing users  Can run Queries  Can view execution plans  At the time of writing there is only a web portal for v11 databases. 33 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite

34. Clustered Index  In a V11 database tables must have a clustered index  It is still possible to create a table without one  But you can’t use it  If you get your clustered index wrong you can’t drop it 34 |19/09/2015 David Postlethwaite
