Creating Database Table¶
Before getting into action with respect to CRUD operations, we need to prepare tables.
- We can either use
psqlor SQL Workbench to connect to the database and create table directly. - Let us drop and create the table
usersif it already exists. - I am using Jupyter based environment for demo – feel free to use what ever is relevant to your project or comfortable for you.
One need to have decent database and SQL skills to be comfortable with all types of application development. Feel free to Master SQL using Postgresql as target database using this course or playlist.

- Let us validate the objects that are created in the underlying database. We can either run query against information_schema or use Database Explorer in SQL Workbench or even
psql.
