How do I create a table in FeatureBase Cloud?
A table is a database object that stores data from external sources.
FeatureBase tables are similar to those in traditional relational databases:
- tables with columns
- columns with data types and constraints.
The first column is automatically created on all tables and serves as the primary key.
Table of contents
You can also create a table using a SQL CREATE TABLE statement then create tables and add data.

FeatureBase identifiers (including object names such as databases, tables and columns) start with a lower-case alphabetic character and can include:
