No. SQL Azure is a cloud database delivered as a service that is separate from SQL Server. SQL Azure is a scale-out platform service that provides customers with on-demand relational database as a service. Although SQL Azure and SQL Server products have different development schedules, they are on parallel code paths and actively sharing new innovations developed by Microsoft.
