Azure Table Manipulation through OData

If I have an Azure table, what (if anything) do I need to do to open it through OData?

Also, what does the OData URL look like? If my Table Url is mytable.table.core.windows.net, where should I link to my Visual Studio web link in order to access this data?

It depends on what you mean by this:

expose it through OData p>

The only way to access data in an Azure table is through the REST API , which is OData. So, you have the correct authentication data (which may be non-standard, I did not try to use them this way), all your tables are already displayed as OData. (URL should be http://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/mytable )

If you want to use Azure tables in a Visual Studio project, rather than accessing it through the API, it’s easier to just use the storage client library .

If you want to expose data in a table using some form or authentication other than what is currently provided (you may want to make it public without giving away keys to the store), you will have to create your own wrapper service do this (similar to the method provided in the link provided by Gaurava)
