<version>12.6.0-beta.1</version>

With Connection String
import com.azure.data.tables.TableServiceClient;
import com.azure.data.tables.TableServiceClientBuilder;
import com.azure.data.tables.TableClient;
TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<your-connection-string>")
.buildClient();With Shared Key
import com.azure.core.credential.AzureNamedKeyCredential;
AzureNamedKeyCredential credential = new AzureNamedKeyCredential(
"<account-name>",
"<account-key>");
TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClientBuilder()
.endpoint("<your-table-account-url>")
.credential(credential)
.buildClient();With SAS Token
TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClientBuilder()
.endpoint("<your-table-account-url>")
.sasToken("<sas-token>")
.buildClient();With DefaultAzureCredential (Storage only)
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClientBuilder()
.endpoint("<your-table-account-url>")
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.buildClient();Key Concepts
- **TableServiceClient**: Manage tables (create, list, delete)
- **TableClient**: Manage entities within a table (CRUD)
- **Partition Key**: Groups entities for efficient queries
- **Row Key**: Unique identifier within a partition
- **Entity**: A row with up to 252 properties (1MB Storage, 2MB Cosmos)
Core Patterns
Create Table
// Create table (throws if exists)
TableClient tableClient = serviceClient.createTable("mytable");
// Create if not exists (no exception)
TableClient tableClient = serviceClient.createTableIfNotExists("mytable");Get Table Client
// From service client
TableClient tableClient = serviceClient.getTableClient("mytable");
// Direct construction
TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.tableName("mytable")
.buildClient();Create Entity
import com.azure.data.tables.models.TableEntity;
TableEntity entity = new TableEntity("partitionKey", "rowKey")
.addProperty("Name", "Product A")
.addProperty("Price", 29.99)
.addProperty("Quantity", 100)
.addProperty("IsAvailable", true);
tableClient.createEntity(entity);Get Entity
TableEntity entity = tableClient.getEntity("partitionKey", "rowKey");
String name = (String) entity.getProperty("Name");
Double price = (Double) entity.getProperty("Price");
System.out.printf("Product: %s, Price: %.2f%n", name, price);Update Entity
import com.azure.data.tables.models.TableEntityUpdateMode;
// Merge (update only specified properties)
TableEntity updateEntity = new TableEntity("partitionKey", "rowKey")
.addProperty("Price", 24.99);
tableClient.updateEntity(updateEntity, TableEntityUpdateMode.MERGE);
// Replace (replace entire entity)
TableEntity replaceEntity = new TableEntity("partitionKey", "rowKey")
.addProperty("Name", "Product A Updated")
.addProperty("Price", 24.99)
.addProperty("Quantity", 150);
tableClient.updateEntity(replaceEntity, TableEntityUpdateMode.REPLACE);Upsert Entity
// Insert or update (merge mode)
tableClient.upsertEntity(entity, TableEntityUpdateMode.MERGE);
// Insert or replace
tableClient.upsertEntity(entity, TableEntityUpdateMode.REPLACE);Delete Entity
tableClient.deleteEntity("partitionKey", "rowKey");List Entities
import com.azure.data.tables.models.ListEntitiesOptions;
// List all enti🎯 Best For
