Given our newfound understanding of our complex object, we need to create our database table. Now, there are a few ways to do this. For example, we can use Phoenix and Ecto's built-in generators to give us a skeleton for this, but since we're trying to learn and understand the underlying systems that are needed for our application, we’ll start by NOT using generators to build our initial skeletons; later on, we’ll dive a little bit into using the generators and how to use them.
We'll get into a habit of learning what we can from the various help commands that exist in mix and IEx, so let's do the same. We can search for any of the Ecto commands that exist for mix with the following:
$ mix help | grep ecto
mix ecto # Prints Ecto help information
mix ecto.create # Creates the repository storage
