Hi Grant,

Thanks for the reply, most appreciated. I get the feeling that there are a few shortcoming in SQL Database, however, as its changing every few months, I believe that it could start getting a lot more popular. I think that security and a lack of traditional backups may be factor in keeping people off SQL Database at the moment. If MS finds a way of encrypting the data stored (rather than having to design an application to do it), and then address backup issues, the uptake would be higher.

What do you think? Are you using the cloud at the moment?

Regards,

D.
