What is mysql database table?
The MySQL database table looks like a normal table. But one of the features of this table is that we can easily store all the data in HTML form and PHP code in the right place in the table. MySQL database tables have rows and columns just like a normal table. Where different data is stored in each row and is equal to each row in the column category.
For example – when we create marksheets in Microsoft Excel, when we create subject wise columns and enter students’ names in rows, the same rule applies here.
| Student Roll | Student Name | English | Hindi | Math |
| 01 | Student 1 | 85 | 80 | 65 |
| 02 | Student 2 | 75 | 81 | 78 |
| 03 | Student 3 | 82 | 72 | 79 |
Why we need mysql database table?
In a word, we need MySQL database table to save the data to you. It is not possible to store data in a database just by creating a database for storing data. For this you need to create a table where it will be stored automatically in a row.
And to make any changes to the data in the future, the table is very much needed to change the correct data. One of the advantages of this MySQL database is, When the data is changed the amount of error is very small or there is no room for error.
How to create mysql database table?
To create MySQL Database table, we must first login to cPanel. After the cPanel is successfully logged in, its interface will look exactly like this. In this we will see the “Database” option.
To understand correctly, I have hidden the above options. When I click on the plus button again, the hide options will appear again.
Now we need to click on the “phpMyAdmin” option to create a new database table. When we click “phpMyAdmin” a new tab open automatically where “phpMyAdmin Database” automatically login.
Once the database is logged in, we need to click on the database that we created the day before. Clicking on the database will select the database. This will highlight the database and show the option to create a database table on the right side. How to Create Database Table in mysql Database.
Now you have to enter the table name in the Create table option and enter the number of columns we will need here. For example– I gave five columns here and named the table “test_table“. Then click on the Go button on the right.

Now we need to specify what kind of data will be stored in each column of the table and the name of the column. Below is the photocopy.
The name here is the name of each column – Like id, name, mobileno, email, address.
These type are the types of data to be stored in each column – Like
- Name id – Type INT (Type INT means only integer number will be stored in this cell for example 12345…. etc.) “This ID is ticked to the right of the “AI” in the cell. This means that this ID number will be automatically incremented.“
- name, mobileno, email, address – Here type VARCHAR in this column all kinds that can be stored Number , special character, Alphabet etc.
- Length/Values – In this cell we have to specify how many characters will be stored in each cell. You can see the image above to understand it better. (As you can see in the picture, the ID number is not given any value in the cell because the integer number cannot take more than 11 so this cell is left empty when we save it from the table it will automatically take the 11 number.)
Now we will save from the table by clicking the save button on the bottom right side of the table. After saving, the name of our table will appear at the bottom of the database. Clicking on the name of the table, we will see the table on the right side.
The table that we have now created manually can be easily created by coding this table. This requires coding the sql file with all the details of the table. Once the sql file is run, a table is created in the database.
