title: How does one access relational data (sql azure) through azure mobile services?
body: <p>I have been looking for good tutorials and documentation on how azure mobile services works for the past 3-4 hours. I keep running into tutorials that show how to create a mobile service, connect an existing database or create a new one, and access data stored in a table created in the mobile service itself. No where can I find how exactly to access an actual database itself as opposed to the storage tables made in the mobile service. I don't understand why data cannot be accessed directly from a database as opposed to this "mobile service" unless this thing actually works the way an OData service is supposed to work in respect with providing an abstract data model to secure the underlying data structure. </p>
  
  <p><strong>My question is:</strong> 
  How exactly can I access my Sql Azure Db (relational structure) via my azure mobile service?</p>
