Create a Table [EA User Guide]

What is a Table?

The basic modeling structure of a relational database is the Table. A Table represents a set of records, or rows, with the same structure.

The UML Data Modeling Profile represents a Table as a stereotyped Class; that is, a Class element with a stereotype of table applied to it. A table icon is shown in the upper right corner of the image when it is shown on a Data Model diagram.
