title: Setting up simple online database and simple web services for application development
body: <p>I am currently developing an android application that will communicate it's user's information with a master database through web services. Eventually, I will most likely rent a reliable online database such as <code>SQL Azure</code>. However, during development, such a service is not really required - all I need is an online database that my web services can connect to.</p>
  
  <p>My application connectivity flow is as such:</p>
  
  <p><code>Android Application &gt; Web Service &gt; Stored Procedure on DB</code></p>
  
  <p>For someone who has experience with databases but is inexperienced with web services, what is the most efficient way of setting this up, both easily and at low-cost, just for development purposes?</p>
