Software - Databases
Example - Setting up tables


The first step towards creating a database is to set up the relevant tables of information.

We will create a database that stores the names and examination results of a group of students. This will require two tables: a 'Student' table and a 'Subject/marks' table. First we need to create the fields for our tables, then we need to enter the data.

We need to make sure to provide a primary key for each table - we have made the 'student ID' fields the primary keys in our tables.
