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

- 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.
