Best Tools for Azure SQL Databases

Microsoft Azure SQL Database is a cloud-based service that offers data-storage capabilities and is built on SQL Server technologies. There are not so many tools on the market that can help you work with Windows Azure SQL databases, but I took some time and assembled a list of tools that I find very useful for this purpose. These tools can improve your work with Azure, whether you need to compare, document, back up or migrate your databases. Some of them are free, others offer free trial versions. Knock yourselves out and try whatever works for you.
