Microsoft, which last year announced plans to bring a limited version of its SQL Server database online, now plans to offer a fully capable cloud version.
Microsoft told The Register earlier this week that it plans to incorporate as many features from its flagship database into SDS (SQL Data Services) before the cloud-computing platform upon which it will run, Windows Azure, is released.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told Wall Street analysts earlier this week that Azure, currently in beta form, would be finalized by the time of Microsoft's PDC (Professional Developers Conference) in November. Microsoft could not immediately be reached for comment.
In a follow-up posting at its SDS blog, Microsoft confirmed that at its MIX Web developer show next month, it will be "unveiling some new [SDS] features that are going to knock your socks off."
