Are there any restrictions on the number of Azure storage tables in a single account?

I am currently trying to maintain a fairly large and dynamic dataset.

My current design is striving for a solution where I will create a new table every few minutes - this means that each table will be quite compact, it will be easy for me to search for my data (I do not need everything in one table), and this should make it easier for me to remove obsolete ones data.

I looked and I do not see any documented restrictions, but I wanted to check:

  • Is there a limit on the number of tables allowed in a single Azure storage account?
  • Or can I continue to add potentially thousands of tables without any problems?

There is no limit to the number of tables, but only a limit of 100TB to 500TB for a specific storage account. Combined with the + line section, it looks like you will have a direct link to your data without any scanning problems.

This MSDN article article explicitly calls: "You can create any number of tables in a given storage account if each table is uniquely named." Enjoy!
