    <p>My problem is that from time to time I want to delete the <strong>contents</strong> of an Azure table from Java. The table has millions of rows so it didn't seem like a good method to delete all entities one by one (because of the many REST API calls).</p> <p>I tried to delete and then create the table again, but my code fails.</p> <pre><code>getTableClient().deleteTableIfExists("tablename"); getTableClient().createTableIfNotExists("tablename"); </code></pre> <p>Here is my stacktrace:</p> <pre><code>com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableServiceException: Conflict at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableServiceException.generateTableServiceException(TableServiceException.java:57) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableOperation$2.execute(TableOperation.java:339) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableOperation$2.execute(TableOperation.java:322) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.core.storage.utils.implementation.ExecutionEngine.executeWithRetry(ExecutionEngine.java:110) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableOperation.performInsert(TableOperation.java:374) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.TableOperation.execute(TableOperation.java:551) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.CloudTableClient.execute(CloudTableClient.java:638) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.CloudTableClient.createTable(CloudTableClient.java:173) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.CloudTableClient.createTableIfNotExists(CloudTableClient.java:251) at com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.table.client.CloudTableClient.createTableIfNotExists(CloudTableClient.java:197) </code></pre> <p>Do I have to sleep for a while between to two calls? I would rather not have too long wait here because I want to make this operation as short as possible so other threads can write again in the table.</p> <p>Or is there a safe way to do this?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Yes, I am looking for an equivalent of the SQL statement: <code>DELETE FROM tablename;</code> in Azure Tables with as few REST API calls as possible.</p> <p>My current best shot is:</p> <pre><code>getTableClient().deleteTableIfExists("tablename"); // TODO: solve problem with new creation! boolean success = false; while (!success) { try { success = getTableClient().createTableIfNotExists("tablename"); } catch (StorageException e) { System.err.println("Log table recreation failed retrying in 5 sec"); try { Thread.sleep(5000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} } </code></pre> <p>I am looking for a better and safer solution then this!</p>

    1. CONo you are looking for SQL Drop Table. You don't want delete by entity (row) as that could be multiple (billed) transactions. Delete table is one transaction.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
