Creating Table¶
Before getting into action with respect to basic DML and queries or CRUD operations, we need to prepare tables.At this time we have not covered DDL yet. All database operations related to managing tables come under DDL.
For now, let’s just create the table by copy pasting below CREATE TABLE statement. We will get into concepts as part of the subsequent sections.
- Connect to the database.
- Create the table.

- 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.
