What is a table in a database?

A database table is a structured data storage consisting of rows and columns.

• Rows (records) contain a set of related data for a single object or entity.
• Columns (fields) represent individual attributes or characteristics of these objects.

Tables are used to organize data, ensure integrity, and enable operations such as querying, inserting, updating, and deleting. Each table typically has a primary key for unique identification of rows.
