| Azure storage for the relational database minded developerSpeaker(s): Dennis Palmer
Now that Microsoft has released SQL Azure, which supports nearly all of SQL Server’s functionality in the cloud, why should developers consider using Azure table storage?
Table storage (along with blobs and queues) provide the truly cloud level scalability that you’re looking for when you decide to develop an app for Windows Azure. We’ll start by comparing the pros and cons of choosing Azure Table Storage over SQL Azure. Then move quickly into how to design your data model in a manner that works well with the highly scalable table storage. With SQL Server and other relational databases, normalization was king. However, table storage is not relational and therefore requires a different way of thinking about how to store data.
The benefits are huge, but wrapping your mind around the flat file nature of Azure table storage when normalized relational data models are all you've been thinking about for the last 10+ years can be tough.
