Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web (Azure) to host database for windows application and give the windows application a connection string to this db ? Or is it only used with web application?
Can we also run SSIS/SQL jobs on this web version of SQL Server?
http://databases.about.com/od/sqlserver/a/sql_server_2012_licensing.htm This article mentions that SQL Server 2012 Web is a specialized version of SQL Server for use in web hosting environments.
Please advice.

I am trying to connect signalR to an SQL server in azure.
[PlatformNotSupportedException: The SQL Server edition of the target server is unsupported, e.g. SQL Azure.]
After follow the instructions on Microsoft Documentation:

Service Broker is enabled.
Form MSDN article:
Prerequisites
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later. The backplane supports both desktop and server editions of SQL Server. It does not support SQL Server Compact Edition or Azure SQL Database. (If your application is hosted on Azure, consider the Service Bus backplane instead.)
If your application will be hosted in Azure and you're using ASP.NET Core, you should consider the use of the Azure SignalR Service as an alternative which offers first class integration with Azure Services including SQL Azure.

Since the azure database not support the reporting service anymore, I have to use a reporting service on a sql server running on an azure virtual machine to get the reporting service for my azure websites. The azure websites uses the reporting service web services to provides the report functions to users.
My question is, Can the web edition work for that purpose? Or has to be at least standard edition.
The standard edition even for 1 core costs 410$ per month + the virtual machine cost. Which does not make any sense to me at all, because we only use the reporting services on that sql server running on the virtual machine.
Can web edition reporting service connect to the azure database as the data source?
You need to have Standard Edition or higher for connecting to remote data sources.
In Web Edition Reporting Services only supports connecting to a local Web Edition of SQL Server DbEngine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#Reporting
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows 8. After installing, I am unable to connect to local server and when I check SQL Configuration Manager, I found out that no sql services is running. I re-installed it many times but still no luck. Why sql services is not running ?
During the install process, check that you actually install the SQL Server Database Engine and not only SQL Server Management Studio. Management Studio is only the client software to access an instance of SQL Server somewhere (locally or on a remote server), while the database engine is actually the server software of SQL Server, hosting actual databases.
Does anyone know if it is possible to install SQL 2000 Reporting Services Server side by side with SQL 2005 Reporting Services Server?
The Reports and ReportServer virual directories are both virtual directories in the default website and they use different .net frameworks. Is this even allowed? Do I need to create a new website to support one of the two engines?
Thanks!
The answer is YES. You must keep the SQL Server 2000 version as the default instance, and the SQL Server 2005 version as a named instance. Also,
The virtual directories must be unique
for each report server and Report
Manager instance.
You can use the same Web site for all
virtual directories. However, you
should create a separate application
pool for the SQL Server 2005 report
server and Report Manager
applications.

I need to transfer a database from a SQL Server instance test server to a production environment that is clustered. But SQL Server doesn't allow you to use backup/restore to do it from single instance to cluster. I'm talking about a Microsoft CRM complex database here.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Have a look at the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard:
SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard
enables the deployment of SQL Server
databases into a hosted environment on
either a SQL Server 2000 or 2005
server. It generates a single SQL
script file which can be used to
recreate a database (both schema and
data) in a shared hosting environment
where the only connectivity to a
server is through a web-based control
panel with a script execution window.
If supported by the hosting service
provider, the Database Publishing
Wizard can also directly upload
databases to servers located at the
shared hosting provider.
Optionally, SQL Server Database
Publishing Wizard can integrate
directly into Visual Studio 2005
and/or Visual Web Developer 2005
allowing easy publishing of databases
from within the development
environment.
You don't have to use the server-side piece; the client-side 'create a script' piece is generally enough.
