SDS version 2 will have joins and stored procedures.  It's not out yet though.  There are lots of videos from Mix09 that show SDS and Azure but no examples for public developers to use yet.  From what I hear, we don't have to wait much longer for version 2.

There is any sample other than TableStorage present in the SDK of Azure.

From the official announcements, its release will be anytime this month.  If you sign up on Connect for an invite, that will put you on the list.  I haven't heard of anyone getting an invite yet. 

I do know of some MSFT employees that aren't on the SDS team that have reviewed it.  This is an assumption but if it tests good in peer review at MSFT, you can bet it will test good when it goes public.

If you write your app to work with SQL 2005/8 Express it will be just changing the connection string in your app.config or web.config file.  That is where I'm going.  Then I'll change the application to take advantage of things later.
