Best practices for Tables

Here are some best practices when managing your Tables:

  • Keep your data structure simple.

  • Validate your data formats before insertion to avoid errors.

  • Use unique IDs per record for an easy data retrieval.

  • Optimize data retrieval by using precise queries to avoid fetching extra data.

  • Implement error handling strategies.

  • Regulary check and cleanse your data.

  • Prioritize security and privacy.

  • Test thoroughly before deployment.

  • Monitor and iterate after deployment.
