You can now use the Data Explorer tool in the Azure portal to create a database and table.

1. Select Data Explorer > New Table.

   The Add Table area is displayed on the far right, you may need to scroll right to see it.

   

2. In the Add Table page, enter the settings for the new table.

   Setting	Suggested value	Description
   Table Id	sample-table	The ID for your new table. Table names have the same character requirements as database ids. Database names must be between 1 and 255 characters, and cannot contain / \ # ? or a trailing space.
   Throughput	400 RUs	Change the throughput to 400 request units per second (RU/s). If you want to reduce latency, you can scale up the throughput later.

3. Select OK.

4. Data Explorer displays the new database and table.
