The Windows Azure Table storage service organizes and stores a large amount of data. Tables in Windows Azure are ideal for storing structured, non-relational data.
Table: A table is a grouping of objects. Tables do not adhere to an elemental pattern, which means that a single table can contain substances with a variety of property combinations. Multiple tables can be found in a single record.
Entity: An entity, like a database record, is a collection of properties. A single entity can be 1 MB in size.
Properties: A name-value pair is referred to as a property. To hold data, each object can have up to 252 attributes. A segment key, a row key, and a timestamp are all determined by three system attributes for each object.
