SQL Azure and DMVs

I was in a conversation this morning with a couple other SQL guys (Twitter again) and the subject of Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) came up in regards to SQL Azure.  Running through the MSDN details it did not seem that they were supported.  After a couple emails with the SQL Azure team I have been given assurances that they will be added in a few months. 

The DMVs that will be available are only those which have database scope.  This is another great step in making SQL Azure a very viable alternative to local hardware.

OT: Not All Tweeting Is Unproductive

Just had an awesome exchange with two members of the SQL Server community over Twitter.  While many people scratch their heads at what exactly to do with this tool (other than let everyone know they are eating, sitting, or worse.) the SQL community has exploded as of late.

All it took to get the conversation started was a question with a "#sql" tag.

I really enjoy a setting where a skinny geek in Atlanta can be talking with someone in Seattle and another in Slovenia about internals of a product we all make our livelihood from.  Good times indeed...
