Table Administration : Overview & Benefits

[AshishKM]

Tables are fundamental components of relational databases, and they enable efficient data organization, retrieval, and management. They can be linked to each other using primary and foreign keys, which establish relationships between different data points. This relational structure allows for complex queries and operations, making database tables essential for managing large volumes of interconnected data.

A database table is a structured set of data held in a database, consisting of rows and columns. Each row represents a unique record, and each column holds a specific type of information about that record.

For example, in a customer database table, each row might represent a customer, with columns for details like customer ID, name, address, and email.

Database tables are used across various applications, from simple contact lists to complex enterprise systems, helping to maintain data integrity and support data-driven decision-making.
