title: azure table : Duplicate partition key results in (409) conflict
body: <p>I am trying to insert multiple rows into the Azure table service. As far as <a href="http://cloud.dzone.com/articles/partitionkey-and-rowkey" rel="noreferrer">this article</a> goes, I have understood the partition key to be able to store duplicates. However, while following <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-storage-3-web-role/" rel="noreferrer">this article</a>, when I try to insert a duplicate partition key I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What could be wrong in my code? I am following it as per the second article; Or is my understanding incorrect? Also, the first article says that the row key is supposed to act as primary key. The second article says I can hardcode it for the example. This has me confused as to what is exactly correct. Both the articles are posted on credible sites. I am working on VS2013 with a trial account for azure. What am I missing?</p>
