Tables

Tables are objects that contain all the data in SQL Server 2005 databases. Each table represents a type of object that is meaningful to its users. For example, in the AdventureWorks database there are tables that contain data about employees, inventory, purchase orders, and customers. For more information, see AdventureWorks Data Dictionary.
