fyi, this is the response I received from clearDB:
You’ll need to contact Azure support about this

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting us. The error that you received is not a MySQL specific error, and thus we are unable to assist with this issue. You may want to contact your local WordPress administrator/developers, or reach out to Azure support about this.
Best regards,
Cashton
I paid extra and setup clearDB to backup my wordpress website running on Azure.
I added a new domain name in the wp-admin console. It ended up breaking everything i.e., I couldn’t logon to the wp-admin portal. The change also resulted in my theme being deactivated. I tried a restore from cleardb but it doesn’t help in this scenario.
It looks like I’ll have to start over from scratch. Luckily, I exported a backup of my wordpress posts and pages to dropbox. All I’ve lost is my images, theme and plug-ins. An the time it will take me to reconfigure from scratch. I’m disappointed that I’m paying extra for clearDB and it’s an incomplete solution.
