azure-table-storage

I'm trying to grasp how Azure table storage works to create facebook-style feeds and I'm stuck on how to retrieve the entries. (My questions is almost the same as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6843689/retrieve-multiple-type-of-entities-from-azure-table-storage but the link in the answer is broken.) This is my intended approach: Create a personal feed for all users within my application which can contain different types of entries (notification, status update etc). My idea is to store them in an Azure Table grouped by a partition key for each user. Retrieve all entries within the same

I am new to Azure table storage. I want to get the total row count in a table. Currently Iam doing something like this:- public List<T> ReadAll(string partitionKey) { List<T> entities = new List<T>(); TableQuery<T> query = new TableQuery<T>().Where(TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", QueryComparisons.Equal, partitionKey.ToLower())); entities = Table.ExecuteQuery(query).ToList(); return entities; } This currently reads through all the table entries. This works ok when it comes to less records. But I am concerned when the records would increase and this method would be tedious. Is

I'm querying Azure table storage using the Azure Storage Explorer. I want to find all messages that contain the given text, like this in T-SQL: message like '%SysFn%' Executing the T-SQL gives "An error occurred while processing this request" What is the equivalent of this query in Azure? There's no direct equivalent, as there is no wildcard searching. All supported operations are listed here . You'll see eq, gt, ge, lt, le, etc. You could make use of these, perhaps, to look for specific ranges. Depending on your partitioning scheme, you may be able to select a subset of entities based on

I am migrating to using the new Storage Client Library for my Azure Table Storage. Querying with the previous Storage Client Library 1.7 namespace: var orders = serviceContext .CreateQuery<Order>(tableName) .AsTableServiceQuery<Order>() .Where(e => e.PartitionKey == partitionKey && e.RowKey == rowKey) Querying with the new Storage Client Library 2.0 classes: string partitionKeyFilter = TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", QueryComparisons.Equal, partitionKey); string rowKeyFilter = TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("RowKey", QueryComparisons.Equal, rowKey); string combinedFilter

I have an entity that, in addition to a few common properties, contains a list of extended properties stored as (Name, Value) pairs of strings within a collection. I should probably mention that these extended properties widely vary from instance to instance, and that they only need to be listed for each instance (there won't be any queries over the extended properties, for example finding all instances with a particular (Name, Value) pair). I'm exploring how I might persist this entity using Windows Azure Table Services. With the particular approach I'm testing now, I'm concerned that there
