What Are Tables in a Database?

Tables are the building blocks of relational databases. They organize data into rows and columns:

  • Rows: Represent individual records.
  • Columns: Represent fields in each record.

Example Table: A table for storing user information:

| ID | Name     | Email           |
|----|----------|-----------------|
| 1  | Alice    | alice@mail.com  |
| 2  | Bob      | bob@mail.com    |
