  • View: Virtual tables that provide a way to look at data from one or more tables in a specific way without storing the data separately.

How to Create a Table

  • Use the SQL CREATE TABLE statement.
  • Specify the table name and column names along with data types.
  • Define primary keys, foreign keys, and constraints as needed.
  • Execute the SQL statement to create the table in the database.

Strategies in Planning a Database

  • Planning a database involves several key strategies to ensure the database meets the organization's needs, is well-structured, and operates efficiently.
