• Partitioned views and traditional partitioning are not supported because Azure SQL Database implements the PaaS offering differently. However, lots of people do logical partitioning with Azure SQL Database letting the code handle the partitioning aspect and the database just handling the storage. Basically, instead of what you're thinking of as partitioning, there is a different database for each "partition" and the code figures out which one to hit for data access.
