postgresqlHow do I create a table in PostgreSQL?


Creating a table in PostgreSQL is done with the CREATE TABLE statement. Here is an example of creating a table called customers:

CREATE TABLE customers (
  customer_id serial PRIMARY KEY,
  customer_name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  customer_email varchar(255) NOT NULL
);

This statement will create a table with three columns:

  1. customer_id: This column is a serial type and is set as the primary key.
  2. customer_name: This column is a varchar type with a maximum of 50 characters and is set to not allow null values.
  3. customer_email: This column is a varchar type with a maximum of 255 characters and is set to not allow null values.

Once the statement is executed, the table will be created and you can begin adding data to it.
