Azure goes database mad
 

Appealing to the widest range of developers

As part of its cunning plan to make Azure a platform appeals to the widest range of developers possible, Microsoft has gone a bit database mad.

The software king of the world has lifted the kimono on a range of new features at Build, its annual developer conference mostly with a data theme.
