To create a table in MySQL, we use the CREATE TABLE statement. A table is a combination of row and columns.
CREATE TABLE Syntax
CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type(size),
column_name2 data_type(size),
....
);
In the above syntax parameters are described as below:
The column_name parameters - It specifies the name of the column in the table.
The data_type parameter - It specifies the data type of the column for ex. int, varchar, date etc.
The size parameter - It specifies the maximum length of data a column can hold..
CREATE TABLE Example
Suppose we want to create a table named "user" that have four column - id, first_name, last_name, country. Use the below statement:
CREATE TABLE user
(
id int(11),
first_name varchar(45),
last_name varchar(45),
country varchar(45)
);
where id column is of type int and will have only integer values. The first_name, last_name and country columnsare of type varchar and will have characters and can have only 45 characters.
Hope this will help you :)
