Table Wizard Columns -- Step 2

In step two of the Table Wizard, you define columns for the table. Using a procedure, each column in a table can be associated with a particular attribute or recordset field in your host application model. Only columns you add to a table will be available to queries from client applications. Columns contain the type definition of each attribute and recordset field, along with a description and whether the column is a key.

To add columns to the table:

1. Click the Add Column button and enter the name of the column in the Name column.
   Give the column a name that corresponds to the name of the associated attribute or recordset field to help keep the table column and the attribute or recordset field closely linked.
   
2. Select the data type for the column by clicking the down arrow at the far right side of the Data Type box to display the data type list. The options are Integer, String, or Float.
   
3. If this column is a key, select the Key box.
   
4. Enter a description of the column in the Description box.
   
5. If required, specify the column's minimum and maximum properties in the Column properties minimum/maximum boxes.
