General rules for entities

Table Storage has some hard limitations when it comes to storing data:

  • The maximum number of columns is 255
  • The maximum size of an entity is 1 MB
  • By default, each entity column is created as a type string—this can be overridden when it is created
  • It is not possible to store null as a value—if you do not provide a column value, an entity will be considered as if it does not have it at all
