Connecting to Azure Table Storage

For information on the available WHL and TAR.GZ files for supported environments, and how to install the appropriate file for your Python distribution, see Package Installation.

For information on the module to import, and how to configure the necessary connection properties in a connection string, see Establishing a Connection.

Other available connection properties can be used to configure other aspects of the connector capabilities.

Python Version Support

The CData Python Connector for Azure Table Storage can be installed and used in various Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 distributions.

Azure Table Storage Version Support

The version support for Azure Table Storage varies based on the connector configuration.

If Backend is set to CosmosDB, the connector uses version 2019-02-02 of the Azure CosmosDB REST API.

If Backend is set to "AzureStack", "Storage", or "Emulator", then the API version used depends on the AuthScheme connection property:

• AuthScheme=AzureAD: The connector uses version 2017-11-09 of the Azure Storage REST API.
• AuthScheme=AccessKey: The connector uses version 2014-02-14 of the Azure Storage REST API.
• AuthScheme=SharedAccessSignature: The connector uses the version of the Azure Storage REST API that is specified in the "sv" parameter in the shared access key.
  • For example, if your shared access key has the value "sv=2018-03-28", the version used will be 2018-03-28.
