Working with tables

In relational databases, a database object is a structure that is used to either store or reference data. Data in the table is stored in a cell that is an intersection of a vertical column and horizontal row. The table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows. With DataGrip, you can perform data manipulation and data definition operations with tables.
