Creating tables for your database

Field Types: These are the various field types that can be used in a database. You don't need to read through this page but it may be useful if you are unsure as to what sorts of information you are able to store in your table.

Indexes: These are the different types of index available and what they do.

Deciding upon your schema: The schema is the structure of your table, here we examine the structure you wish to model and what form this will take in the table.

Building your table class: Once we've decided on a schema, we get down to doing the basic declarations for our table class.

The class constructor: The next step is to add information to the fields such as names, sizes and indexes.
Methods for your tables: Adding test data or using calculated fields, a wide variety of useful methods can be attached to your table class.

Relationships: How relationships work between database classes (instead of plain C++ pointers) - an overview and details.
