SQL Azure server as unit of billing -

-

one of azure training kit presentation says:

each account has 0 or more logical servers

  • provisioned via common portal
  • establishes billing instrument

each logical server has 1 or more databases

  • contains metadata database & usage
  • unit of authentication, geo-location, billing, reporting
  • generated dns-based name

each database has standard sql objects

  • users, tables, views, indices, etc
  • unit of consistency

so i'm lost :d. not databases units of billing?

i mean, thought servers logical containers , charged per number , size of databases. how servers billed?

thanks.

in subscription, when set sql azure, create logical server, located in 1 of 6 data centers. default, subscription supports single logical server. i'm guessing you'd have contact microsoft increase quota. in case, don't pay @ "server" - there's no data space allocated.

you pay strictly per database. each database tier has monthly rate, amortized daily based on maximum database size each day. save money if database size dynamic. instance: assume have web edition database, has 2 tiers: 1gb , 5gb. let's of month, daily usage falls below 1gb, week, run @ 1.5gb. you'll pay @ 5gb rate week, @ 1gb rate rest of month (this significant savings on paying 5gb rate entire month).

if load 5gb database, price equivalent having 5 1gb databases, if 1gb databases existed in different logical servers.

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
