Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for simply creating tables required to build a database via a communication network without requiring advanced knowledge or skills. After receiving a prescribed table file and converting it, if necessary, into text format, the server extracts table information from this table file in accordance with prescribed rules, makes judgements, and memorizes the information. This enables table information required for creating a database to be automatically generated in the server, and thus a database can be simply built.
