Creating a Table

Creating a new table may be one of the most crucial operations performed by a database developer or administrator. The c-treeDB API offers a powerful, yet easy to use, mechanism for creating tables.Creating a table

The create table process does not leave the table open after the table is created. The user must explicitly open the table to be able to add data records and query any of the table properties.

The create table process involves the following steps:

  1. Create a new TCtTable component
  2. Add, insert or delete fields
  3. Optionally, add, insert or delete indexes
  4. Change any of the default table properties
  5. Create the table

It is not possible, at the present time, to create a table using c-treeVCL/CLX at design time.
