Azure Storage Tables Operations

Azure Storage Tables allow you to store data in a flexible, schema-less format. They're excellent for semi-structured data and offer efficient querying capabilities. Here's a breakdown of key operations you can perform with Azure Storage Tables.

Key Operations

  • Create Table: This is the foundational step. You define the structure of your table, including the partition key and any optional sort keys.
  • Insert Data: Adding new records to your table. You specify the partition key and any additional properties for the record.
  • Update Data: Modify existing records. This is often done by updating specific properties within a record.
  • Delete Data: Remove records from the table.
  • Query Data: Retrieve records based on various criteria, leveraging the partition key and optional sort keys. These queries are highly optimized.
