Table Glossary Definition

A table is a structured arrangement of information in rows and columns.

Table is a Database concept associated with document-oriented storage, where information is organized in flexible document structures rather than only fixed relational tables.

Tables help readers compare values, scan attributes, present data compactly, and understand relationships that would be harder to follow in prose.

Developers and data architects use this concept when modeling flexible records, designing application data access, or scaling document-oriented systems.
