## Search Table
Open the Search bar by clicking on the **Search** button and search for a table in the ToolJet database by entering the table name.
## Rename Table
To rename a table, click on the kebab menu icon on the right of the table name and then select the **Edit table** option. A drawer will open from the right from where you can edit the table name.

To add a new column to a table, either click on the kebab menu icon on the right of the table name and then select the **Add new column** option or click on the **+** button present at the end of the column header.
A drawer from the right will open up where you can enter the details for the new column:
- **Column Name**: Enter a unique name for the new column, serving as its key identifier.
- **Data Type**: Choose the appropriate data type for the column from the [available options](/docs/tooljet-db/data-types#supported-data-types). For more information on data types and their associated constraints, see the [Supported Data Types](/docs/tooljet-db/data-types#supported-data-types) and [Permissible Constraints per Data Type](/docs/tooljet-db/data-types#permissible-constraints-per-data-type) sections.
- **Default Value**: Specify any default value that should be assigned to the column. Optionally, users can leave this field blank. When a table contains rows and NOT NULL is applied to one of its existing or new columns, specifying a default value becomes compulsory.
- **Foreign Key Relation**: Click on the toggle to add a foreign key relationship to the column. This will open a menu where you can select the target table and column to reference.
## Export Schema
The export schema option allows you to download the selected table schema in a JSON file. This does not export the table data or the relationships.
While exporting the app, you can choose to export the app with or without a table schema connected to the app.

## Delete Column
To delete a column, click on the kebab menu on the column name and select the option to **Delete**. You cannot delete a column if it is being used as a primary key. You will have to remove the primary key constraint from the column before deleting it.
