# Tables

> Structured data table management within ROOTKey vaults. Create, query, and manage schema-defined tables with integrity anchoring at the record level.

<Warning>
  This section is under active development. Full endpoint documentation will be published shortly. Contact [support@rootkey.ai](mailto:support@rootkey.ai) if you need early access or technical specifications.
</Warning>

## Overview

The Tables API allows you to create and manage structured, schema-defined data tables within ROOTKey vaults. Each table provides a typed record store with integrity anchoring - every write operation is processed through the configured data processing protocol, producing a cryptographically verifiable audit trail at the record level.

Tables are designed for use cases where data has a defined structure (columns, types, constraints) and where individual records must be independently verifiable - regulatory datasets, operational logs, inventory records, or any structured data requiring tamper-evidence.

***

## Key Capabilities

* Define typed schemas for structured data storage within a vault
* Create, update, and query records with integrity anchoring per operation
* Access full record history and version lineage
* Validate individual records against their on-chain proof
* Control table-level access and permissions through vault configuration
