Navicat supports connection to SQL Azure, a cloud-based relational database server built on SQL Server technologies. In order to begin using your SQL Azure server, you must create server administration credentials and specify one or more firewall rules that enable access to your SQL Azure server. Similar to the settings for a SQL Server connection, in Navicat, click the “Connection” and select “SQL Server” to start a new connection. Enter the domain name of your SQL Azure server in the Host Name/IP Address field. Each SQL Azure server has a fully qualified unique domain name such as “servername.database.windows.net”. The “servername” refers to the name of your SQL Azure server. Finally, click 'Test Connection' to check the connection and click 'OK' to save the connection settings.
