C# And Ms Access Database Tutorial #2 – How To Create Ms Access Database Table In C#

Microsoft Access Database can have multiple tables. So this tutorial shows how to create a new access table. This is all about adding a new table to already existing database.

Table Is a Structure Composed of rows and column. Each column belongs to a particular datatype. So each column should hold a specific type of data like (Images, Text). But not both. You cannot insert an image in text column. Whenever you add a new entry, its added to a new table row. Mostly the first column in table contains ID, Which is unique. The ID is mostly considered as the primary key of the table. Id Must be unique. Primary key cannot hold duplicate values. Values of this nature are auto incremented whenever you add a new row to the table. If you want to retrieve specific row data from the table you can use ID (primary key) since its unique in all rows.
