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.
