I’m currently in the middle of developing an application loosely similar to StackOverflow (question / answer based)

Initially, I was using AWS (simple db and s3) for storage, however that posed several problems, and i’ve opted to go with SQL – With a view to eventually hosting on SQL Azure.

I was just wondering, if i opted for the 1gb database initially, could I increase the size to the 5gb / 10gb databases later on? Or would I have to create a separate new database of this size, and port my data over?

    See my answer on this other SO question. In a nutshell, you modify db size with T-SQL, such as:

    ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase MODIFY (EDITION='WEB', MAXSIZE=5GB)
