I have a theoretical question with regards to Umbraco as Service and its content database. I assume Umbraco as a Service uses the SqlCE DB by default but given you have access to config files, I can easily change the connection string to a SQL Server DB. Is SqlCE the only DB option for Umbraco as a Service or is SQL Server also supported? And if so, how is the hosting and connecting to a SQL Server handled?
We use SQL CE for the Trial and Freelance plans, for Studio and Agency you get a SQL Azure database per environment (dev, staging, live).
You can currently not change the connection string (we have apply config values at a higher level than web.config) but that option will be available at some point.
