Question

Is there a way to query Azure table Storage without linq?

I want to use >=, <=, <, > operattors on strings which of course linq will not allow me to do so.

For. eg: I cannot execute below expression in linq as my PartitionKey is a string.

(PartitionKey ge 'A') and (PartitionKey le 'R')

Answer 1

You should be able to use something like PartitionKey.CompareTo(…) > 0 in linq. An alternative to linq would be to use a DataServiceQuery<T> and e.g. its AddQueryOption method, but that would leave you with the same limitations.
