How to create and input data into a table in PostgreSQL?
To create and input table data in PostgreSQL, you can follow these steps:
- Open the PostgreSQL command-line interface or use a graphical interface tool (such as pgAdmin) to connect to the PostgreSQL database.
- To create a table structure, use the CREATE TABLE statement to define the columns and data types of the table. For example, create a table named “students” with columns “id” (integer), “name” (string), and “age” (integer).
- Create a table for students with columns for id (auto-incrementing), name (string of up to 50 characters), and age (whole number).
- Inserting data:
Use the INSERT INTO statement to insert data into a table. For example, insert a record into the “students” table. - Add John, who is 20 years old, to the students table.
- You can insert multiple rows of data by executing the INSERT INTO statement multiple times.
- Retrieve table data:
Utilize the SELECT statement to retrieve data from a table. For example, retrieve all data from the “students” table. - Show all the records from the students table.
- You can also search for data based on certain conditions, for example, searching for students who are 18 years old or older.
- Retrieve all students who are 18 years old or older.
- This will allow you to create and enter table data.
