Using a hosted SQL Server

Create a free account on AppHarbor
After signing in, go to "Your Applications" and create a new application
- This application is required just to obtain the SQL Server access. No code will be hosted on this application.
Select the created application and go to "Add-ons" option.
On the "Add-ons" page, select "SQL Server" (not "Dedicated SQL Server") and then install the free option ("Yocto")
After installation, go to the add-on detail and select "Go to SQL Server". This page will show the connection options and the used space. Use these values when accessing the database using SQL Management Studio or JDBC.
