In the previous post<\/a>, we saw how to use cl-azure<\/a>\u00a0to access Azure storage, in particular, BLOBs<\/strong><\/em>. Today we will experiment with Tables<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The following operations are currently supported by the library:<\/p>\n

– Create a new table<\/p>\n

– List all the tables available<\/p>\n

– Add rows to a table<\/p>\n

– List the contents of a table<\/p>\n

– Delete a table<\/p>\n

The create-table<\/strong><\/em> function lets you create a table in your account. If you want to know what tables are available in the account, you can use the function query-tables<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/a>

There is a very useful application called Storage Explorer<\/a>\u00a0that you can use to connect to your account and manage the different entities. Here is a screenshot of the app showing the tables in my account:<\/p>\n

\"Storage<\/a>

Let us add two rows to the newly created table. The function insert-entity<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0does this. Every table must have two mandatory columns called PartitionKey<\/strong><\/em> and RowKey<\/strong><\/em>. These are used as the primary keys. You can add other columns as needed. For this example, let us define additional columns Name<\/strong><\/em> and Age<\/strong><\/em>, and accordingly populate two entities in the table.<\/p>\n

The corresponding view in the StorageExplorer is shown below.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

The last operation we will try is the delete-table<\/strong><\/em> command. This will delete a table and all its contents.<\/p>\n

\"Deleting<\/a>

If you refresh the StorageExplorer<\/strong><\/em> view at this time, you can see that there is no table in the account,<\/p>\n

As noted earlier, the\u00a0library is far from complete. Hope that the author will revisit it and complete it in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
