Für das Projekt müssen wir zuerst eine passende Datenbank erstellen.
For the project, we first have to create a suitable database.
table
'die Tabelle' and 'die Datenbank' both have to do with organized data, but they are not the same thing. A table shows information visibly in rows and columns, for example in a document or in a spreadsheet. A database is a system in which large amounts of data are stored, searched, and managed electronically. You can have tables in a database, but the database is larger and more technical. The words are confused because in both cases the data is structured.
Die Datenbank speichert alle Kundendaten, damit das Team sie schnell findet.
