Database Table
A Database table stores structured data in a database
.
Data in a table is organized in rows or database records. Each row contains
columns or fields. Each field has a type, such as
character, text,
integer, float, date, timestamp
or blob.
Database tables are similar to other tables,
such as the table of spreadsheet cells or in a text document. However they are not the same.
Database tables are the most restrictive in the structure of the data they accept,
including keys and conditions such as unique or not null.
OpenOffice.org Base lets you create a table quickly using the
Table Wizard.
Data in tables is often viewed and entered with
forms and some
programming logic forming a database application.
