What questions do you have about SQL Server Data Services?

So,

I've written several posts now around coding (in C# and in Java) about using SSDS.  So, I'm a bit curious if anyone out there has specific questions that either I (or others on team) might be able to answer.  This could be code related, design related, etc.  So, what questions do you have?

I'm curious to know if you're going to have a service similar to Amazon S3. For the application I have in mind, "eventual consistency" of data would be a huge drawback.

Hi Jeff,

I am building a desktop app that is intended to store data in SSDS. I want everyone that uses the app [the user] to store their data in a different authority. So my questions around this:

1) Will there be an authentication mechanism that maps the user to an authority?

2) Can that auth mechanism be LiveID?

3) Can you bill individual users for their use of the authority rather than billing me, the ultimate owner of the service?

Thanks

Jamie

A Couple of quick answers.

1) We do not use a eventual consistency model.  The inserts you do are visible to your on your next query.  

2) There is a authentication mechanism on each authority that associates a owning user to that authority.

3) Presently, this user is not identified via LiveID though we are looking at that work.

4) Not all of the billing scenarios have been finalized but the one you mention is one that we are considering.

Hope this helps,

Hi Jeff,

"There is a authentication mechanism on each authority that associates a owning user to that authority."

I'm pleasantly surprised that this is already in place. Thanks.

Its also great to know that you are looking into these other things. If you need anyone voting for you to include LiveID auth and per-user billing then my hand is firmly in the air!

Thanks

P.S. I'd also be interested in a revenue share model. Microsoft collect from the user whatever they need to collect in order to cover the cost of the service, what is left over comes to the service owner (i.e. me) as a share of the revenue

P.S. Email alerts aren't working for this blog. And yes, i've checked my junk folder.

Jeff,

1. What are your plans and timing for supporting associations/relationships plus lazy- and eager-loading?

2. When will folks who signed up for the beta know if they've been accepted?

3. What's the schedule for an Atom/AtomPub implementation?

Cheers,

Jeff,

SQL Server currently provides replication features via the Web Sync feature which makes use of IIS.

Are there any plans to provide replication features via SSDS?  The client piece of the replication could talk to SQL Server via SSDS.  Seems like it would be a 'natural' way to communicate with SQL Server, without complicating it with additional components like IIS.

I'm very curious to know what your thoughts are, whether it is practical, if there are inherent issues with the approach, etc.

Thanks,

Jay
