Quick Reference

The TABLE keyword is used along with CREATE, ALTER, and DROP to manage a database table.

CREATE TABLE

The following creates a table called Customers that contains six columns: id_customer, first_name, last_name, address, city, state, country.

				
					CREATE TABLE Customers (
    id_customer int,
    first_name varchar(255),
    last_name varchar(255),
    address varchar(255),
    city varchar(255),
    state varchar(255),
    country varchar(255)
);
				
			

The following creates a new table called “Users” by copying two of the columns from the Customers table.

				
					CREATE TABLE Users AS
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM Customers;
				
			

ALTER TABLE

The following adds the last_name column to the Customers table.

				
					ALTER TABLE Customers
ADD last_name varchar(255);
				
			

DROP TABLE

The following deletes the table Customers.

				
					DROP TABLE Customers;
