How to create a new table in zeeSQL

After you have created a new database, the next likely action, will be to create a set of tables to store information.

zeeSQL uses SQLite under the hood, hence it can work with all the SQL queries that can be managed by SQLite.

Suppose you have created a new database with:

127.0.0.1:6379> ZEESQL.CREATE_DB DB
1) 1) "OK"

You can now create a new table executing a command against that database:

127.0.0.1:6379> ZEESQL.EXEC DB COMMAND "CREATE TABLE foo(col1 STRING, col2 INT, col3 STRING);"
1) 1) "DONE"
2) 1) (integer) 0

This command will create a table called foo with 3 columns. The first column is called col1 and has type STRING, the second column is called col2 and has type INT and the last column is called col3 again of type STRING.

We know that everything went well because the result was "DONE". Moreover, zeeSQL is telling us that 0 rows were modified, this is correct since we only created a new table.

You can create an unlimited number of tables.

The CREATE TABLE documentation page of SQLite describes all the options and the syntax available to create a new table. All of them are available in zeeSQL.
