Batching operations to SQL Database significantly improves the performance and scalability of cloud services in Windows Azure. This paper first demonstrates the effectiveness of batching. It then covers the techniques, scenarios, and considerations to help you to use batching successfully in your cloud services. There are fixed processing costs to any interactions with a remote service, such as serialization, network transfer, and deserialization. Packaging many separate transactions into a single batch minimizes these costs.
In this paper, we want to examine various SQL Database batching strategies and scenarios. Although these strategies are also important for on-premises applications that use SQL Server, there are two main reasons for highlighting the use of batching for SQL Database:
