Creating Tables and Relationships
The primary entities in any database are its tables. Tables are composed of a structure and data. Server Explorer is the Visual Studio instrument used to define or edit the structure or data of any table within a connected database. In fact, using Server Explorer, it is possible to create a new SQL Server database instance from scratch.
Note
As we noted in Chapter 5, the Express and Standard editions of Visual Studio refer to the Server Explorer as the Database Explorer. For simplicity, we always refer to this window as the Server Explorer in this chapter.
