<div><p>A <dfn class="term">table</dfn> is a two-dimensional arrangement of data consisting
|
||
|
|
of <dfn class="term">rows</dfn> and <dfn class="term">columns</dfn>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The row is the horizontal part containing one or more columns. The column
|
||
|
|
is the vertical part containing one or more rows of data of one data type.
|
||
|
|
All data for a column must be of the same type. A table in SQL is a keyed
|
||
|
|
or non-keyed physical file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A <dfn class="term">materialized query table</dfn> is a table that is used to contain
|
||
|
|
materialized data that is derived from one or more source tables specified
|
||
|
|
by a select-statement. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A <dfn class="term">partitioned table</dfn> is a table whose data is contained in
|
||
|
|
one or more local partitions (members). </p>
