Tables in MySQL, and other databases are created with the create table statement, where you define the columns of the table by specifying their names and data types.

create table employee (
	emp_id		 integer,
	first_name	 varchar(30),
	last_name	 varchar(50),
	start_day	 date,
	salary		 decimal(8,2)
);

create table airport ( 	
	city 			text, 
	airport_code 	char(3), 
	x_coordinate 	integer,
	y_coordinate 	integer,
	z_coordinate 	integer
);
