The Azure Storage Table feature attributes consists of the columns that were in the Microsoft Azure Storage Table. All features contain an azure_table_type attribute (which is always set to azure_table_none since there is no geometry to Azure Storage Table features).

User attributes for this format are defined below.

Attribute name restrictions if attributes begin with a number.

This format does not allow attribute names to begin with a number. When automatically generating writer schema, FME will prepend any attribute name that begins with a numeric character with an underscore '_' in order to produce valid output.

For example: If reading a dataset that has attributes named for the years 2021 and 2022, the writer schema will list these attributes as _2021 and _2022.

Using an AttributeRenamer transformer to rename the attribute or add a specific prefix will prevent the underscore from being added, as long as the new name does not also begin with a number.

Name

The name of the table or layer name to be written.

Type

This format supports the following field types.

boolean

Stores true/false data. Data read from or written to these fields must always have a value of either true or false.

double

Stores 64-bit floating point numbers.

int

Represents a signed, 32-bit wide integer.

text

Stores variable length strings. This type is also used to store date values.
