MySQL Tutorial: Create SQL Tables

Let's say we work in a doctor's office and wanted to make a simple table with a person's name, age, height, and the date we collected this information. On the previous page we entered "people" as the name of our table, and chose to have 4 fields. This brings up a new phpmyadmin page where we can fill in the fields and their types to add rows and columns. (See an example above)

We have filled in the field names as: name, age, height, and date. We have set the data types as VARCAR, INT (INTEGER), FLOAT and DATETIME. We set a length of 30 on the name, and have left all other fields blank.
