Azure free trial & SQl server

I'm trying to setup a SQL (2008 or 2012) server within my free Azure trial.
However, getting 'The operation is not supported for your subscription offer type'
From what I see/have read - this should be possible
There is no point in running a trial, if I cannot get all the required services.
Can anyone confirm if SQL is or is not part of the free trial?
Thanks

Hi,
You should be able to create SQL Azure with your Azure trail.
I would request you to open a Billing Support
ticket, they will be able to check this for you.

Azure Free trial with Neteller account

Hi everyone.
As I live in Tunisia, we don't have the right to own an international credit card, unless we pay a certain amount and have a certain status. As a simple user, I tried to create a free trial account but my credit card was not accepted. I heard about an alternative
which is Neteller account. I can get an international credit card with deposing in it more than 10 euros.
I need to know if my Neteller credit card would be accepted in the Azure free trial subscription ?
Many thanks.

Hi Khalil,
Thanks for your posting!
For this billing question, I suggest you can contact the Azure support team for more details . It is the best choice for you.
Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/
Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a support ticket for you

I wanna ask about that free
plan,i make 3 cloud vps...for a month its totally free

Hi Sir,
All of you used service is free in your Free Trial. You could use Virtual Machines, Websites, Cloud Services, Mobile Services, Storage, SQL Database, Content Delivery Network, HDInsight, Media Services, and many more . Please see your offer message.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0044p/
Use the pricing calculator to estimate how much you could use with
$200 of Azure credits. Here are a few usage scenarios that consume no more than
$200 in a month:
Run 2 small Virtual Machine instances for the entire month, or
Store 800 GB of data in Storage, or
Develop and test a web application using Cloud Services, with 3 web roles and 2 worker roles on medium instances, for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, or
Run a 100GB SQL Database for the entire month
Also, I suggest you could refer to this FAQ:

Can't connect Azure Database in SQL Server

Hi,
I completed setting up the database and server on Azure, but when i tried to connect it using SQL Server 2012. I got an error.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to tcp:*******.database.windows.net,1433.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10061&LinkId=20476
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
My IP was already added in Azure.
I also checked that the TCP/IP was enabled on Configuration Manager.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Hi Aaron,
If you are trying to manage your database through SSMS - make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is enabled.
1) SQL server configuration manager
2) In 'SQL server Network configuration'
3) Enable TCP/IP
Also try connecting your database through the web based sql azure management studio.

Publishing to Azure DB from Sql Server DB project with no initial Azure DB

It seems to me that the natural order of development for creating and publishing a Azure DB would be to first create a Sql Server DB project in VS 2013, then publish it to Azure. If no DB exists in Azure then Azure should create it! But I can't seem to get
that to work, I can however create a DB in Azure first, then create a Sql server DB project from it in VS SQL Server Object Explorer where VS imports everything from Azure into my solution. The question is - can I create a SQL Server Database Project in VS
2013 and then publish it to Azure without having any DB in Azure first? If so, is there a tutorial out there somewhere?
dawit

Hi witdaj,
The natural order of development is indeed correct, considering you're a developer. For an DBA, the same could apply for SQL Server Management Studio, where you can deploy any database directly to Azure.
In regard to your question, you absolutely need a SQL Database server first. If you've got yourself a SQL Database server, simply right-click the database project and select 'Publish...'. For the connection, click the edit button and insert your SQL Connection
connection string, in the form of <database_server>.database.windows.net,1433. Make sure you've configured your IP address in the server firewall as an allowed client IP. Also, make sure that in the Edit Connection dialog box you select the master database.
In the Publish window, choose your database name (it shouldn't already exist) and you're all set.
The script that generated your database will create a Web database, which you can scale later either in the portal or directly from the master database.
ALTER DATABASE 'db_name' MODIFY (EDITION = 'Business')
Hope this helps.

Windows Azure Mobile Services - Sql Server - prebuilt columns

am I correct in assuming that tables for WAMS need to be created in the Azure management portal and have some columns precreated. Once the table is created:
is it ok to modify the columns in Visual Studio once the table has been created?
Can i just create the necessary items on my own or do I need to go through the management portal all the time?
How do i handle foreign keys and such between two tables?

hi Wally,
Thanks for posting!
>>is it ok to modify the columns in Visual Studio once the table has been created?
yes, we could modify our sql database data on the latest version (Azure SDK 2.2 ). You could use VS 2013 and install SDK2.2 to view the data. At the same time, you will
click Add Firewall Rule and a new rule will be automatically added for you.
Please see the blog about this question (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2013/10/22/windows-azure-announcing-release-of-windows-azure-sdk-2-2-with-lots-of-goodies.aspx
>>Can i just create the necessary items on my own or do I need to go through the management portal all the time?
The answer is yes . If you want to manage your SQL database by azure portal, you could find your database form
"SQL Azure", and click the "Manage" to manage your DB. Like this image:
>>How do i handle foreign keys and such between two tables?
you could handle foreign such as using SQL. Refer to this page (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/48772/how-do-i-create-a-foreign-key-in-sql-server

Windows Azure Free Trial Sign-up BUG

Hi, I'm from the Philippines. Few minutes ago, I tried to sign up for free trial on Windows Azure using my SMART Money (a Debit Card in the Philippines but works with MasterCard). I can verify this card on PayPal and shop online using this card. I entered
all valid information (triple checked it!) but an error keeps popping up and I can't register at all while my card is charged with $1 for every try!
I'm really frustrated because I already tried it 2 times and my card is charged $2 already!!!
What will happen to my $2? Will I get any refund? Should I try again and be charged another $1? What should I do? Please help me. I'm really depressed right now. I lost $2 on nothing. I really want to try your VPS.
Hoping for a reply. Thanks in advance!

Azure free trial version

Hello,
I have a problem, I've got my free trial subscription on Microsoft Azure website. And somehow I canceled it.
Now I couldn't get it back. Is there a way to get it back. I'm a student and so the free trial is the only way I could try Azure. Maybe there are some other ways to try Azure Services.

Azure website is stopped; after free trial what happens next?

Hi,
My Azure website is stopped and I don't understand why. Restarting it doesn't work.
I have a free trial subscription, which seems to expire today. I would like to upgrade it but there is no information about the financial impact of upgrading. I found this link about the different service tiers:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn741336.aspx
But there is no finance information. They give you links into all kinds of documentation but the basic question of what to do after free trial subscription ends is nowhere.
I was able to link to a Web page that details monthly charges (which unfortunately now I couldn't find) where a developer pays $29 monthly and standard subscription costs $300 monthly. I need a standard but I don't have that money to burn. So I'm thinking
of the developer plan but I don't know what services go with it. What happened to the pay-as-you-go? Where is the explanation for what services are included in that plan? Where
are the plans? Why can't I find it in the Azure portal?
Appreciate anyone with suggestions.
Marilyn Gambone
