Abstract
Almost all databases have one thing in common: they use tables to store data. In this chapter, I’ll present recipes that demonstrate table creation and manipulation. Tables are used to store data in the database and are the central unit upon which most SQL Server database objects depend. Tables are uniquely named within a database and schema and contain one or more columns. Each column has an associated data type that defines the kind of data that can be stored within it.
