Hello,

SQL Azure ist something completly different then Windows Azure BLOB Storage.

SQL Azure databases are running as separate server instance and the database files are stored there, not in Windows Azure BLOB storage.

Hi,

Its totaly confusing.

Please take care of my case hre.

I have created an database in windows azure management portal. And then connected to my hosted service. So now my application has access to the database. its working fine.

If i upload any images/file means that image path will store in my database which i created earlier. but where my images/files will store?

Can i view that images are files manually/visually.

Here my created database is sql azure database or windows azure.

When you only save the path+file name of the images in you SQL Azure database, then your images will be untouch by SQL Azure; they stay where they are, in the Windows BLOB storage, somewhere in the cloud.

If the images are available, you can only check through Windows Azure (or your app).
