5.4. TABLE

As a relational DBMS, Firebird stores data in tables. A table is a flat, two-dimensional structure containing any number of rows. Table rows are often called records.

All rows in a table have the same structure and consist of columns. Table columns are often called fields. A table must have at least one column. Each column contains a single type of SQL data.

This section describes how to create, alter and delete tables in a database.
