table
Like a sheet in a spreadsheet, it holds rows of similar things with the same columns.
A spreadsheet might have a sheet for customers with name, email, and joined date. A database table is the same idea: each row is one item, each column is one field.
Clear tables make your app faster to build and understand. One table per kind of thing avoids messy duplicates, and links between tables prevent copying the same data everywhere.
In Supabase you define tables, columns, and constraints, rules like "email must be unique." You then query, which means request, rows by filters like id equals 42 or date after last week.
