Windows Azure Platform, latest version?

Question

I searched through internet but found nothing. The whitepapers of Windows Azure Platform say something like that:

In its first release, the maximum size of a single database in SQL Azure Database is 10 gigabytes

A few things are omitted in the technology’s first release, however, such as the SQL Common Language Runtime (CLR) and support for spatial data. (Microsoft says that both will be available in a future version.)

I want to know that Microsoft had updated Windows Azure Platform and removed these limits or not?

I decided to post this question here instead of Serverfault.com because it's more relative to programming than administration.

Thank you

Microsfot havent removed the limtis yet. But more flexibility and features are added to it. Follwoing is a quick glimpse of what they are.

At Mix Microsoft announced that theywill be offering a new 50gb size option in June. If you would like to become an early adopter of this new size option before generally available, send an email to [email protected] and it will auto-reply with instructions to fill out a survey to nominate your application that requires greater than 10gb of storage.

Other announcements included:

MARS in April: Execute multiple batches in a single connection Spatial Data in June: Geography and geometry types SQL Azure Labs: SQL Azure Labs provides a place where you can access incubations and early preview bits for products and enhancements to SQL Azure. Currently OData Service for SQL Azure.

Propose and/or Vote for the SQL Azure features you want, e.g. " the SQL Common Language Runtime (CLR)" or "50GB is not enough," at http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/pages/34685-sql-azure-feature-voting
