I have a hard time trying to temporary shut the database offline so that I don't have to pay for my database that serve as testing purpose. Unfortunately, what I found online is there is not temporary shut down in azure database either!
What can we do is delete the database. As long as your database doesn't store any data, you will not need to pay 1 cent. If you have a data, the payment is per hour based on the data size.
I cannot find delete database in Azure (manage.windowsazure.com) sql databases.
A lot of post suggest to use the SqlAzureExtension , but the database can be delete without using any extension. It is pretty simple, just log on to your sql management studio, connect to the azure server and delete it as the same way you delete any database. That's it?? YES! I am happy because due to slow network that causing me hard time to download and search the azureExtension, I found this easy solution.
:D
Cheers,
Happy clouding.
