Azure tables, blobs


Just starting to study the Azure framework.

Just say you create a row in the Table storage.

You then create a Bob in the Blob storage,

Is there some way you can correlate what you just added to the Table with the Blob you just created?

Or anytime you have related entries you must use SQL Azure?

That would be disappointing as say you wanted to store some Video in a blob, but had some row in an SQL Azure table that you wanted to link to the Blob.

Since you cannot have this link you must store your video in SQL Azure somehow?


Solution

  • You can store unique filename of file stored in blob into azure table row. Storing full video/binary content in Azure table or SQL azure table is not recommended as retrival will become bit slower and SQL azure is bit expensive compared to blob.
