Designing Database Tables
First, there will be two tables added to your database: Persons and Phones. These are exactly the same tables as described in chapter Database and Spreadsheet. A layout for Persons can be found in section Data integrity and validity in that chapter.
- Select from the toolbar. You can also use in the context menu of the item in the Project Navigator.
- The Table Designer window will appear. Looking at the window's tab you will see that KEXI gives a generic name like Table1 for the new table. The table design is not yet saved, you will be able to assign a more suitable name later. Also, the table name is not yet visible in the Project Navigator.
