Please refer to the links below - there is a supported SDK available here:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/table-introduction
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table

@Sudheer-Dhulipalla And just to confirm, that nuget package is suitable, and recommended, for "legacy" (i.e. non Cosmos DB backed) Table Storage as well? If so it's a kind of confusing namespace.

@Sudheer-Dhulipalla Your answer points us at Cosmos DB which is _not_ the same service. I believe this issue is opened about Azure Table Storage as described here.

It looks like perhaps https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/tables/Azure.Data.Tables is the home of a (yet to be released?) package for accessing Azure Table Storage. But it's unclear because the package isn't on nuget and the docs haven't been written for it.

[AArnott]

OK, just noticed that https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table in fact alleges to be one SDK that targets Azure Table Storage as well as Cosmos DB. I'll give that a try.
