You can collect the information for your Azure database from the Azure administration Console, under Database and Overview:
SQLPRO FOR MSSQL FOR WINDOWS UPDATE
If you’re using Azure, you simply need to update our firewall rules to allow access for your local IP address and connection to the Azure SQL database is simple after this update, (and will need to be updated each time, if you’re like me and change locations, (and IP addresses each time.)) Its an easy to configure and use, 12Mb query interface, (also available from the App Store) that was created for SQL Server users that find themselves on Mac. Under Remote Server Connections, check the box against. Select Connections on the left-hand pane. I figured I wasn’t the only one and did some research, locating SQLPro for MSSQL from Hankinsoft. Right-click the on the SQL Server instance name and select Properties. With this change, I found myself limited to VMs running on my Mac with SQL Server, then I was working with Azure and it seemed like a lot of extra “weight” to just have access to a few tools. I didn’t realize at the time I’d be doing as many SQL Server conferences as Oracle in my next role with the Delphix… 🙂

I loved my Surface Pro 4 and still do, but that I was providing content for those I thought would be on Macs, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Tabbed based interface for an optimal user experience. Features include: Intellisense/SQL autocompletion. I recently switched to a Mac after decades use with PCs. SQLPro for MSSQL is a lightweight Microsoft SQL Server database client, allowing quick and simple access to MSSQL Servers, including those hosted via cloud services such as SQL Azure or Amazon RDS.
