(SQL Server) How to Generate an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS)

Shows how to generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for an Azure Storage Account.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

// Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.
