"table storage, which is similar to the key-value pair type storage in a NoSQL implementation"

Why "similar"? Why not just say,

"table storage, which is a NoSQL implementation"

cos that's what it is. No?

JamieT - thanks for commenting. Actually, NoSQL is a fairly broad term that encompasses not only key-value pair storage, but other paradigmns as well, so I had to qualify it to be accurate. One meaning of NoSQL is "Not Only SQL", so you'll find there is no single storage/retrieval methodology there.

Buck,

Agreed, NoSQL is a fairly poorly defined unbrella term for a great many things - one of which is Azure Table Storage. Hence why I think its more appropriate to say Azure Table Storage IS a NoSQL implementation, rather than being similar to one.
