I'll show you that even the simplest **SQL** commands work **perfectly fine** with a **cloud database**. For example, let's create **two tables** to store user phone numbers and another table to store descriptions of various products.

To do this, open our **MySQL Workbench**, connect to our cloud database, and create a database for our tutorial.

Here's the command to **create a database**:

```sql
CREATE DATABASE CodefinityGuideDatabase
```

Now, use the **following SQL** queries to create the required tables.

To create the `user_phones` table:

```sql
CREATE TABLE user_phones (
    user_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    user_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    phone_number VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
);
```

To create the `product_descriptions` table: 

```sql
CREATE TABLE product_descriptions (
    product_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    product_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    description TEXT
);
```

Also, let's **insert some random data** into these tables so they aren't empty.

`user_phones`:

```sql
INSERT INTO user_phones (user_name, phone_number) VALUES
('John Doe', '+1234567890'),
('Jane Smith', '+0987654321');
```

```sql
INSERT INTO product_descriptions (product_name, description) VALUES
('Smartphone', 'High-end smartphone with a large screen and advanced camera.'),
('Laptop', 'Portable computer suitable for personal and professional use.');
```

So, we've created a database and two tables in our **cloud database**. Now, **anyone can connect to this database** and retrieve the necessary data, insert new data, and so on.

Let's verify if everything was done correctly and fetch all the information from the `user_phones` and `product_descriptions` tables:

We **created** the required **database** and also **created** and **populated** two **tables** within this **database**. We did this to **connect** to these **databases** from our **EC2 instance** in the next chapter, **see** that the **data** is **stored** in the **cloud**, and **retrieve** this **data** from the **EC2 instance**.

Discover the world of cloud computing by exploring its core technologies and practical applications in this course! We’ll begin with the fundamentals of cloud computing and then focus on essential AWS services like S3 (Simple Storage Service) for scalable storage, EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for virtual servers, and RDS (Relational Database Service) for managed databases. Gain hands-on experience as you learn how these services integrate to support modern applications efficiently.

Learn about the history and development of cloud technologies, as well as how modern servers and web applications operate. Dive into the different cloud models, understand the offerings of major cloud service providers, and explore the security fundamentals that ensure safe cloud operations. 

We'll explore a cloud service called S3, and learn how to configure and use it. You'll upload various media to S3, and then we'll even learn how to host a simple static website on S3.

We’ll dive into understanding what EC2 is and how it works. You’ll learn what EC2 is used for, how to create and manage instances, and how to connect to them from your device. Additionally, we’ll guide you through the basics of working with EC2 instances and demonstrate how to deploy your own website on an EC2 web server.

We will learn how to create and use databases in the cloud. I'll tell you about the different types available, how they interact with applications, and integrate with various products. Cloud databases are the most secure way to store data, and this section will explain why.
