1) Connect with SQL Server Management Studio 2012
2) Download SQL Database Migration Wizard (SQLAzureMW)
3) Convert your script from SQL Server to Windows Azure Compatiable
4) Run the script in Windows Azure


1) Connect with SQL Server Management Studio 2012

4) Open the azure window and run the query over there.

Above steps are helpful when you can not directly connect with Azure database from your SQL server instance.
