Ok. I did'nt realize the level of "Delphish DB entaglement" in the JS libs.

across would be sufficient for your needs in its *current* form ?>>
Briefly. I suppose a single WebAPI method could deserialize the transaction into a c# model, but from there I would need to manually extract and update my Azure Sql Server using entity framework. So I decided to face my fears and give ASP.NET Web Forms a try since this plugs right into the universe I'm using. I'm running a beta now...

Tim,

Consider interfacing to http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/mobile-services/ before anyting else. It's originally designed to support mobile devices, but theres no reason why web builder should not be able to tap into this infrastructure. It is super-easy to create/mainain db's in the sky, and it's free to try for 90 days. It would be the perfect companion for web builder - propelling you into the clouds. IMHO
