Tables

A database table is a structure that organises data into rows and columns. Data in a 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 IntelliJ IDEA, you can perform data manipulation and data definition operations with tables.
