Have you tried Azure Machine Learning Studio yet?

Have you tried Azure Machine Learning Studio yet? If not you definetely should try it out, and do a proof of concept, just for fun.

Go to http://studio.azureml.net, and log in as guest (or register to an account).

Try the sample dataset on Movie Recommendations from Imdb, and build your own opinion.

Try out the newly added Jupiter Notebooks for R. 

Cheers!

STOP the press: sp_msforeachtable not present in SQL AZURE!

STOP the press: sp_msforeachtable not present in SQL AZURE!

Unfortunately, sp_msforeachtable didn't make into Microsoft cloud database stack. I could go around this limitation because my problem was deactivating all constraints for a data migration project, and I could use SQL SERVER dmv's.
