Table storage services

Table storage in Azure can be described as a NoSQL database. This basically means that the database has no schema and each value in a table has a typed property name. This property name can be used for filtering, sorting, and as selection criteria. There are multiple entities in a table that each consist of a collection of values and their property names. NoSQL, and thus also Azure Table storage, has much higher performance, scalability, and flexibility at a much lower, complexity.

Common usage scenarios for Table storage are databases or datasets for web applications, collections of metadata, or bigger collections, for example, addresses. As with the other Azure Storage services, the only limiting factor for Table storage is the size of your storage account, which means, there is no limit on the number of tables or entities in tables.

Since Table storage is fast to set up and access, the next demo will show the creation of a simple table. Often, Table (NoSQL) storage...
