Creating the Historical League Tables

Now we're ready to create the Historical League tables. For this we use the CREATE TABLE statement, which has the following general form:

CREATE TABLE tbl_name ( column_specs );

tbl_name indicates the name you want to give the table. column_specs provides the specifications for the columns in the table, as well as any indexes (if there are any). Indexes make lookups faster; we'll discuss them further in Chapter 4, "Query Optimization." For the president table, the CREATE TABLE statement looks like this:

CREATE TABLE president
(
last_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
suffix VARCHAR(5) NULL,
city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
state VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL,
birth DATE NOT NULL,
death DATE NULL
);
