Topic:

Exploring Azure Table Storage Using PowerShell

Abstract:

Some technical problems lend themselves to storing and retrieving data from a relational database management system (RDBMS [en.wikipedia.org]). Edgar Codd came up with the idea of a relational model when he was working at IBM’s San Jose Research Library in 1970. The purpose of this model was to abstract the relational database so that it was not bound to any particular application.

Other technical problems do not lend themselves to storing and retrieving data from a predefined table. The popularity of NoSQL databases started with companies such as Facebook, Google and Amazon when working with big data problems and/or real time web applications. This set of technology is coined “Not Only SQL” since they might support a SQL syntax for retrieving data.

While there are many NoSQL [en.wikipedia.org] database systems, most systems can be place into one of four widely implemented data stores.

A key value store uses the concept of an associative array to save and retrieve data. A document store encapsulates all the data for an entity (document) using a popular encoding format such as XML or JSON. A graph store contains a bunch of elements with a finite number of connections between them. A column store saves the data using columns instead of rows. This means that columns with discrete values can be highly compressed.

Today, we are going to learn about Azure Table Storage which is a key value store.
