Codeigniter and Windows Azure - El Forum - 02-12-2013

I have a web application built in CI, I need to migrate it to Windows Azure, and have the following questions:


1) How can I access the blob storage within my application? Does CI have support for this. If so, what is it?
2) I am using the old MSSQL drivers and not SQLSRV drivers. Do I need up upgrade - my application seems to break when I make the change.

Thanks.

1) Use file system. Or use 'binary' data type of sql server database.
2) Yes, you may need to update, but by yourself as codeigniter doesn't support this right now. Also, are you using active record? if so, I have doubt whether you will be able to perform all operations properly even after proper connection.
