title: How do I install a SQL Server on the hosted build agent in Visual Studio Online?
body: <p>One of our customers uses Visual Studio Online ( <a href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs.aspx</a> ) which is based on capabilities of Team Foundation Server (TFS)</p>
  
  <p>We were researching how to do automated Builds and automated Unit Tests using the Visual Studio Online account.</p>
  
  <p>Using Visual Studio 2012 IDE, I was able to setup a build in the Hosted Build Service. However, my Unit Tests need a Microsoft SQL Server Database to run properly, which I have installed on my development workstation.</p>
  
  <p>In order to run my tests I need to have my database running in a SQL instance on the build agent.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to install SQL server on the Hosted Build Agent, and if so, how?</p>
