There is currently no support for automatic partitioning of SQL Azure databases. Users must take care of partitioning their data in their application logic. See Sharding with SQL Azure for more information. SQL Azure Federation has been announced, but is not yet available. This feature will provide easy repartitioning and redistribution of data with a robust connection routing mechanism.
