The Azure Storage Table service can be described as a NoSQL database. This 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.

Common scenarios for table storage are databases or datasets for web applications, collections of metadata, or bigger collections, for example, for customer data or for addresses.
