Async support is available in Mono since Mono 3.0: http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_3.0 (ctrl-f for "async")

Did you try with Digital Ocean ?

can't do Select Into in Azure.

So run SQL Server in a VM. Or MySQL. Or PostreSQL. Or whatever.

Even with the new dedicated Azure SQL Always-On instances?

i'll check.

After some googling and stackoverflowing and msdning, I think any version of SQL on azure does _not_ support "select into". I also found a request to have that added, and in January of 2013, it was closed as "won't do". ( see https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/776... )
