But which database is reading?

actually none, upon search I realized that I should specify my .mdf file so that when loading the website from azure it will load the database, but seems that I don't have the mdf file I don't know why.so I was thinking of building the database on azure and connect it to the website .Is that a suitable way??

note that my database is only 2 tables.
