You’ll need to write this type of code yourself. If you have aggregations that you need to perform, you’ll want to pre-compute those at regular intervals, or even as data is written. There are no features, at the moment, that will let you perform some kind of fan out query that can touch every shard that you’re using.

If sharding will keep your data in different databases
and if cross database queries are not allowed.

How can you do an aggregate query or just a count(*) query if the data in the table are in two different databases as a result of sharding??

We are developing a web portal.70% of the users are in Asia and 30 % are in north America…

Initially we were planning on hosting it with some providers but were worried by this geographic spread of the users..

With Azure we might not face that problem..

Lets say we host it with Azure ..
1. How will the users get routed ,Eg: North America users vs Asia users
2. How is the SQL Azure set up ..? Will there be latency in data syncing for North America users vs Asia users
