Difference between the database and the table

Filed under: MySQL on 2022-10-07 11:30:51

There is a major difference between a database and a table. The differences are as follows:

  • Tables are a way to represent the division of data in a database while the database is a collection of tables and data.
  • Tables are used to group the data in relation to each other and create a dataset. This dataset will be used in the database. The data stored in the table in any form is a part of the database, but the reverse is not true.
  • A database is a collection of organized data and features used to access them, whereas the table is a collection of rows and columns used to store the data.
