Here's a blog post that I've written that describes the use of a 3rd party tool (AxioWorks SQList) to synch the SharePoint lists with normalised SQL Azure tables which then gives you the option of direct query. 

 

Since SQList updates SQL Azure as soon as SharePoint changes are made it is a very nice workaround for Direct Query
