Designing Database Tables
First, there will be two tables added to your database: persons and phone_numbers. 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 menubar. You can also use the button on the Project Navigator's toolbar.
- The Table Designer's window will appear. Looking at the top of designer's window you will notice that Kexi proposed you a generic name like template for the new table. The table design is not saved yet so you will be able to assign more proper name later. Moreover, because of the same reason, the table name is not yet visible in the Project Navigator.
