title: MS-SQL limitations in Azure Free Websites
body: <p>I have a very simple .Net application having about 10 simple forms backed by a MS-SQL Server database having about 5-6 tables.</p>
  
  <p>I want to host this using Microsoft Azure Free websites model. However, I am not sure what are the restrictions/limitations of using an SQL Server database within a free Azure website model.</p>
  
  <p>As far as I know, the free model provides you with :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ul>
    <li>10 free web sites per sub region on the AzureWebSites.net domain</li>
    <li>165 MB of outbound data per day per sub region, up to 5 GB per region</li>
    <li>1 GB of storage per sub region (shared by all web sites)</li>
    <li>20 MB of a third-party MySQL database per sub region for the first 12 months</li>
    </ul>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'd like to know what would be my options in the free model with regards to MS-SQL Server. Would I be able to use MS-SQL Server in the free model. If yes, what would be the restrictions on it?</p>
  
  <p>I checked the Microsoft website for this information, but I don't see the SQL-related restrictions/limitations mentioned explicitly on it.</p>
  
  <p>All I want to know is what are the limitations on using the MS-SQL Server in free model with a Microsoft Azure subscription.</p>
