As per title, I am confused with the new service tiers for azure SQL.
I understand that the current pricing for Web and Business is actually calculated based on the actual size stored on the server. But I am confused with the new service tiers, which is basic,standard and premium.
As from here, http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/sql-database/#basic-standard-and-premium, they are saying, for example, a STANDARD tier database will cost me ~$20(preview price with 50% discount).
My question is, if I create two database with STANDARD tier(which can support up to 250GB), but with 5GB each, will it be billed as $20/DB(which will cost me $40) or $20 for two DB(since its not exceeding the limit of 250GB)? ps. I do used the pricing calculator that provided here, http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/?scenario=data-management. but it just sound weird and ridiculous to me if I created a database with only 1-2gb but paying $20(which may be increased to $40) for each DB. I just need some clarification. thanks.
