Hi subash sundar,

When you create a table, initial space is saved for it in the database. If more space is required later as a result of data that has been entered, the storage space is increased in accordance with the category selected.

You can select the categories 0 to 4 for your table. Each category is assigned a specific fixed storage area value in the database. When you create a table, initial space is saved for it in the database.

Yes the table size is incremented automatically after the records are filled to the initial size specified.

Size category is selected initially in order not to waste memory unnecessarily.
