Favorite Azure Storage Tools, Mittwoch, 25. März 2009 22:05:25

I just did some Azure Storage development and used some available tools that are really worthful.

• Azure storage utility – Home
• “…management of blobs within one or more Azure storage account”
• list, delete and add files to blob storage
• Azure Storage Explorer - Release: 0.3 Preview
• “…view your Azure storage account blobs, queues, and tables in a GUI”

Tip: When deploying a Windows Azure Application to the cloud, often things work different than in the development environment. Therefor I do heavy tracing through the RoleManager. On the Configuration page within the azure portal you can copy those traces/logs to blob storage. After the copy is done, you can use one of the above mentioned tools to view the traces/logs.

Paging in SQL Data Services, Sonntag, 18. Januar 2009 20:11:24

SQL Data Services (SDS) returns max. 500 entities as a result of a query. So paging could be implemented with sequenced queries like “from e in entities where e.Id > "LastEntityId" select e;” (see also Eugenio Pace - Software as a Service Architecture Guidance : Paging in SSDS & Parallel Queries).
