title: SQL Database access from a WebJob in Azure
body: <p>I plan to use WebJobs as a lightweight substitute for NServiceBus but wanted to first verify that routine SQL Azure Database queries can be made from a triggered WebJob handler? My database access will be through EntityFrameworks.</p>
  
  <p>This SO thread indicates that WebJobs does not support SQL Database but I hope this just means that SQL Database cannot be used as a triggering mechanism for a WebJob handler?</p>

  <p>I have not found a WebJob sample that issues SQL Database queries but since a WebJob has access to the same app config as the main WebSite I assume database connection details can be made available?</p>
