6 Powerful Steps to Master Tables in SQL: Creation, Modification, and Management

Tables in SQL are the basic pieces of a relational database that is built on the structured query language (SQL)

[{"selector":"#anim-a77aac68-9d19-41b9-8c69-d24260d4917c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

A table is a SQL database that is made up of rows and columns, each row being a record, and each column being a field within the record

[{"selector":"#anim-9650b7f0-c4c8-4e98-bd51-fddc33e79497 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

A tables in SQL is a set of data stored in rows and columns, related to each other

[{"selector":"#anim-a3fb26fb-abfd-40d9-b8c0-e21e7f466482 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

A column has a specific data type and the table is recognized by its name

[{"selector":"#anim-31da529c-6cd7-4baa-8ff0-8ddeace1426f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The SQL CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table. This command defines the table structure, including its name and the columns it will contain

[{"selector":"#anim-c56a7819-c354-4784-b0db-7850bac9a397 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
