Table

Just as a file cabinet might be organized so that each drawer holds different types of information, a database contains separate tables for different types of information. For instance, you might have a Personnel table, a Payroll table, a Benefits table, and so on. They can all reside together in one database. See the CA Dataquery Reference Guide or the CA Datacom/DB SQL User Guide for information on the GRANT and REVOKE commands for accessing tables.
