Emulating Azure Storage Services

In order to emulate Azure Storage Services, the Storage Emulator uses, if not specified otherwise, a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB instance.
This instance can be contacted with the name (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDb, for example with 
C:\> sqlcmd -S (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDb
On this instance, the emulator craeted a database named AzureStorageEmulatorDb510. The 510 corresponds to the version of the Storage Emulator.

Using a different SQL Server instance

A different SQL Server instance can be specified like so: 
C:\> AzureStorageEmulator.exe init /server <SQLServerInstance>
The value of <SQLServerInstance> can be the dot (.) which signifies the default SQL Server instance.
