Now we will continue working with the Event Management database that we’ve just created.

Tables

We will now create an Events tabIe in this Event Management database. There we will store information for each new event, such as the agenda, venue, participants, etc.

Each table in a database is assigned a name, ideally so that you know straight away as to which information is held in this database.

Reminder: Table structure

Here are the most important terms again.

Creating and naming a table

Open your new Event Management database.

How to do it

1. Then click on New table in the next screen.

2. The table settings open.

3. Enter a name for your table under Table name. Since this table will hold data about events, we will name it Events (this is a bit shorter).

You don’t need to save it yet, as we are about to continue working in the table settings.

Databases

A database is a collection of data structured so that you can easily search for and retrieve items.

If you take a closer at our logo, you might recognize the standard symbol for databases in it. At least, that’s the idea behind it…

Tables

Tables contain data. A table is a database object that stores data in records (rows) and fields (columns).

The data usually relates to a specific category of people or things, such as employees or orders. You’re probably familiar with this from using Excel spreadsheets.

A database can consist of various tables.

Table structure

Tables are really important when it comes to databases. That’s why we would like to take a look at their structure. But don’t worry, we’ll come back to them again when we work through an example in a moment.

Every Ninox project starts with a database where you store your information.

How to do it

1. Go to the and click the Login button in the upper right corner (more about ).

2. Log in to your Ninox account.

3. Click the Start Ninox button. The Ninox app opens in your browser.

4. In the app screen, click on New database.
