A table is a collection of data organized into rows and columns, similar to a spreadsheet. Each row represents a single record, while each column represents a specific attribute of that record.
For example, in a table of employees, each row could represent one employee, and the columns might include their name, job title, and hire date. This organization makes it easy to read, manage, and analyze data.
Tables are commonly used in databases, where they help store large amounts of information efficiently and allow for quick retrieval through queries.
Example
An employee table might look like: | Name | Job Title | Hire Date | | John Doe | Developer | 2021-01-15 |
