What is a Table?


A table is the basic structure used to store data in a database.

All information in a database is saved inside tables.

Each table represents one type of data such as users, products, or orders.

Before creating a table, a database must exist.

Tables cannot be created without selecting a database.

Each table belongs to only one database.

A table contains columns that define what type of data will be stored.

Columns represent properties such as name, email, price, or quantity.

The structure of a table is decided before inserting data.

Each row in a table represents one complete record.

When new data is added, it is stored as a new row.

Tables allow data to be stored in an organized and readable format.

Tables make it easy to manage large amounts of data.

SQL queries always work on tables to read, insert, update, or delete data.

Understanding tables is required before learning data operations.
