as a follow-up[ to my previous blog post i completed a short article on importing SQL Data Services (SDS) data into Azure Table Storage (ATS). mapping the storage model and entity details is covered as well as a step-by-step walk through of exporting SDS data, transforming it into valid ATS data and importing into a new ATS table.

below is the intro from the article.

Now that Microsoft has announced that the current SQL Data Services (SDS) will be discontinued in favor of the more traditional Tabular Data Services (TDS) model, there are those who might need to export their existing SDS data to a viable alternative service. This article will outline the steps to export your data from the current SDS storage system and import that same data into the Azure Table Storage system.

it was fun to put this together from available material. i look forward to any feedback.
