Components of a table (of a database)
SQL Tables
A table is a collection of rows having one or more columns. A row is an instance of a row type. Every row of the same table has the same row type. The value of the n-th field of every row in a table is the value of the n-th column of that row in the table. The row is the smallest unit of data that can be inserted into a table and deleted from a table.
The number of rows in a table is its cardinality. A table whose cardinality is 0 (zero) is said to be empty.

A column name can be used in more than one tables and to maintain the integrity of data and reduce redundancy. This is called a relation.

The value of each field makes a row is the column value.
Each table should contain a field which can create a link with another one or more table is the key field of a table.

SQL: Tips of the Day
SQL Server SELECT into existing table.
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLETWO SELECT col1, col2 FROM dbo.TABLEONE WHERE col3 LIKE @search_key
This assumes there's only two columns in dbo.TABLETWO - you need to specify the columns otherwise:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLETWO (col1, col2) SELECT col1, col2 FROM dbo.TABLEONE WHERE col3 LIKE @search_key
