When creating a new Azure SQL Database server in the Azure Preview Portal, the default is to allow any Azure service (i.e., your Azure Website) in your subscription to access the server, as can be seen in Figure 6-2.

Create a new server.
To access the Azure SQL Database server from outside Azure—for example, from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)—you will need to modify the server firewall to allow access from the desired IP address (or range). On the Database blade, select the name of the SQL server in the Summary part, as seen in Figure 6-3.
