New features in SQL Azure

An amazing set of new features has been announced recently. These features include:

• 50 GB Database SKU, available upon request
• MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets) This is very useful feature, since lots of developers are having issues with connection when using Entity Framework. The EF connection string enables MARS by default and developers are having though times to identify connection errors.
• Alter rename process for symmetry in renaming databases
