Table is the most basic data storage unit in OceanBase Database. A table contains all the data that users can access, and each table consists of multiple rows of records, with each record consisting of multiple columns.
Before creating and using tables, administrators can make plans based on business requirements while adhering to the following principles:
Standardize table usage and estimate table schemas reasonably to minimize data redundancy.
Choose appropriate SQL data types for each column of the table.
For details about SQL data types, see Overview.
Create tables of an appropriate type based on actual needs: non-partitioned table or partitioned table.
