body: <p>I am looking for capability to Export data from <del>SQL Azure</del> Azure Table Storage to Some Flat file or XML file, so that we can import that to SQL / MYSQL Server and do the data analysis.</p>
  
  <p>What happens is we get lot of transaction from our <a href="http://www.innovativetxt.com" rel="noreferrer">text API</a> per hour, ( Partition Strategy is hourly),  since Azure table storage doesn't support the count and Sum.
