Note: Give proper data types and constraints for the above columns. Now let's consider
the CRUD operations that can be performed on this "students"table:1. Create a new
student record:

They can enter the student's first name, last name, email, phone number, andaddress into a
form.
● Upon submitting the form, the system will insert the new student recordintothe"students"
table.
2. Retrieve a student record:

recordbytheirstudent_id.
● Upon entering the student_id, the system retrieves the student's details
fromthe"students" table and displays them on the screen.
3. Update a student record:

recordinthe"students" table.

thefields(firstname, last name, email, phone number, or address) in the record.

recordinthe"students" table.
