Azure Tables SDK for Python

NoSQL key-value store for structured data (Azure Storage Tables or Cosmos DB Table API).

Installation

bash
pip install azure-data-tables azure-identity

Environment Variables

bash
# Azure Storage Tables
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL=https://<account>.table.core.windows.net
# Cosmos DB Table API
COSMOS_TABLE_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.table.cosmos.azure.com

Authentication

python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.data.tables import TableServiceClient, TableClient
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
endpoint = "https://<account>.table.core.windows.net"
# Service client (manage tables)
service_client = TableServiceClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)
# Table client (work with entities)
table_client = TableClient(endpoint=endpoint, table_name="mytable", credential=credential)

Client Types

ClientPurpose
TableServiceClientCreate/delete tables, list tables
TableClientEntity CRUD, queries

Table Operations

python
# Create table
service_client.create_table("mytable")
# Create if not exists
service_client.create_table_if_not_exists("mytable")
# Delete table
service_client.delete_table("mytable")
# List tables
for table in service_client.list_tables():
print(table.name)
# Get table client
table_client = service_client.get_table_client("mytable")

Entity Operations

Important: Every entity requires PartitionKey and RowKey (together form unique ID).

Create Entity
python
entity = {
"PartitionKey": "sales",
"RowKey": "order-001",
"product": "Widget",
"quantity": 5,
"price": 9.99,
"shipped": False
}
# Create (fails if exists)
table_client.create_entity(entity=entity)
# Upsert (create or replace)
table_client.upsert_entity(entity=entity)
Get Entity
python
# Get by key (fastest)
entity = table_client.get_entity(
partition_key="sales",
row_key="order-001"
)
print(f"Product: {entity['product']}")
Update Entity
python
# Replace entire entity
entity["quantity"] = 10
table_client.update_entity(entity=entity, mode="replace")
# Merge (update specific fields only)
update = {
"PartitionKey": "sales",
"RowKey": "order-001",
"shipped": True
}
table_client.update_entity(entity=update, mode="merge")
Delete Entity
python
table_client.delete_entity(
partition_key="sales",
row_key="order-001"
)

Query Entities

Query Within Partition
python
# Query by partition (efficient)
entities = table_client.query_entities(
query_filter="PartitionKey eq 'sales'"
)
for entity in entities:
print(entity)
Query with Filters
python
# Filter by properties
entities = table_client.query_entities(
query_filter="PartitionKey eq 'sales' and quantity gt 3"
)
# With parameters (safer)
entities = table_client.query_entities(
query_filter="PartitionKey eq @pk and price lt @max_price",
parameters={"pk": "sales", "max_price": 50.0}
)
Select Specific Properties
python
entities = table_client.query_entities(
query_filter="PartitionKey eq 'sales'",
select=["RowKey", "product", "price"]
)
List All Entities
python
# List all (cross-partition - use sparingly)
for entity in table_client.list_entities():
print(entity)

Batch Operations

python
from azure.data.tables import TableTransactionError
# Batch operations (same partition only!)
operations = [
("create", {"PartitionKey": "batch", "RowKey": "1", "data": "first"}),
("create", {"PartitionKey": "batch", "RowKey": "2", "data": "second"}),
("upsert", {"PartitionKey": "batch", "RowKey": "3", "data": "third"}),
]
try:
table_client.submit_transaction(operations)
except TableTransactionError as e:
print(f"Transaction failed: {e}")

Async Client

python
from azure.data.tables.aio import TableServiceClient, TableClient
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
async def table_operations():
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
async with TableClient(
endpoint="https://<account>.table.core.windows.net",
table_name="mytable",
credential=credential
) as client:
# Create
await client.create_entity(entity={
"PartitionKey": "async",
"RowKey": "1",
"data": "test"
})
# Query
async for entity in client.query_entities("PartitionKey eq 'async'"):
print(entity)
import asyncio
asyncio.run(table_operations())

Best Practices

  1. Design partition keys for query patterns and even distribution
  2. Query within partitions whenever possible (cross-partition is expensive)
  3. Use batch operations for multiple entities in same partition
  4. Use `upsert_entity` for idempotent writes
  5. Use parameterized queries to prevent injection
  6. Keep entities small — max 1MB per entity
  7. Use async client for high-throughput scenarios
