Creating a table in Table Editor
In this example we will create a new table that does not contain any data. Nevertheless, while creating the table you must decide what types of data you want to store in it. The data is held in fields, and each field can be declared as one of the data types that are available.
The sakila database contains the film table. We are going to create a table that will store film ratings descriptions.
To create a table:
1. You must be connected to a database. For more information about how to create a server connection see Connecting to a Database.
