I am developing an application which may be hosted on a microsoft sql server, or on Azure SQL, depending upon the end user’s wishes.

My whole system works fine with the exception of some WCF functions which determine the last modification time of tables using the following technique:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) as tableName, 
       last_user_update as lastUpdate
FROM mydb.sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats

This query fails in Azure. Is there any analogous way to get table last modification dates from Azure’s sql?

    Did you try removing the mydb. from the query. 4 part notation is not supported in SQL Azure. You can only work in the context of a single database, so just try executing:

    SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) as tableName, 
       last_user_update as lastUpdate
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
