Storage Accounts


Azure Storage and Azure SQL Database both play an important role in the Microsoft Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) strategy for storage. Azure Storage enables storage and retrieval of large amounts of unstructured data. You can store content flies such as documents and media in the Blob service, use the Table service for NoSQL data, use the Queue service for reliable messages, and use the File service for Server Message Block (SMB) file share scenarios. Azure SQL Database provides classic relational database features as part of elastic scale service.

Azure provides four different types of Storage types:
               
·         Blobs
·         Files
·         Tables
·         Queues

Azure Storage Tables Azure Storage is a non-relational (NoSQL) entity storage service on Microsoft Azure. When you create a storage account, it includes the Table service alongside the Blob and Queue services. Table services can be accessed through a URL format. It looks like this: http://<storage account name>.table.core.windows.net/<table name>. There are many forms of NoSQL databases: ■ Key-value stores that organize data with a unique key per record and often allow for jagged entries where each row might not have a complete set of values. ■ Document databases that are similar to key-value stores with semi-structured, easy-to query documents. Usually, information is stored in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. ■ Columns stores that are used to organize large amounts of distributed information. ■ Graph databases that do not use columns and rows; instead, they use a graph model for storage and query, usually for large amounts of hi...
