# [[Python MySQL Create Table]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
`INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY` is the standard way to add a self-incrementing unique ID column, and it can be applied either at table creation or retrofitted onto an existing table via `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN`. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`CREATE TABLE`** — executed via `mycursor.execute("CREATE TABLE ...")`; the connection must specify the target database. [S1]
- **`SHOW TABLES`** — checks existing tables, same iteration pattern as SHOW DATABASES. [S1]
- **`INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY`** — auto-generates a unique, incrementing ID starting at 1. [S1]
- **Adding a primary key to an existing table** — `ALTER TABLE customers ADD COLUMN id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY`. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Create table: `mycursor.execute("CREATE TABLE customers (name VARCHAR(255), address VARCHAR(255))")`. [S1]
- With primary key: `mycursor.execute("CREATE TABLE customers (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255), address VARCHAR(255))")`. [S1]
- Add PK after the fact: `mycursor.execute("ALTER TABLE customers ADD COLUMN id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY")`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — Insert Into 챕터에서 이 테이블에 실제 레코드를 채우는 과정으로 이어진다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Create table with auto-increment primary key (Python):
```python
mycursor.execute(
    "CREATE TABLE customers (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, "
    "name VARCHAR(255), address VARCHAR(255))"
)
```
