    I've re-read your slide deck, it looks like the answers to questions 1 and 3 are both yes, I'm presuming the answer to question 2 is also yes ?, can you please confirm this ? Regards, Chris

    Conor, Many thanks for going to length you have to answer my question in such great detail, the size of it is almost like a blog posting in its own right. I know that SQL Azure is not you area, but the optimizer very much is, and that in a contended shared tenancy environment there are issues around specific instances not being able to have exclusive use of the L2 cache, however, is this technology likely to find its way into SQL Azure ?. Kind Regards, Chris

    SQL Azure is still a new platform and we are developing a lot of new functionality and key features every day.  Right now, we don't do a lot to help people trying to make data warehouses to run on that platform yet, and I think it would be fair to say that it is possible but not the primary targetted scenarios.  We don't really comment publicly on future features for any of our products - sorry.
