Here's an example of the simplest CSVS dataset that contains a record about visiting Japan in 2001.

.csvs.csv

csvs,0.0.2

_-_.csv

event,date

event-date.csv

visited Japan,2001-01-01

Technically, this dataset represents three records:

• event record that says visited Japan in 2001-01-01
• date record that says 2001-01-01
• a _ record, pronounced schema record, that says "event" has a "date"

Let's add another event about climbing the Everest in 2003

.csvs.csv

csvs,0.0.2

_-_.csv

event,date

event-date.csv

visited Japan,2001-01-01
climbed Everest,2003-03-03

Now, the dataset represents five records:

• event record that says visited Japan in 2001-01-01
• event record that says climbed Everest in 2003-03-03
• date record that says 2001-01-01
• date record that says 2003-03-03
• a _ record, pronounced schema record, that says "event" has a "date"

Let's add another value to the database to show that events happened to different people.

.csvs.csv

csvs,0.0.2

_-_.csv

event,date
event,name

event-date.csv

visited Japan,2001-01-01
climbed Everest,2003-03-03

event-name.csv

visited Japan,Donell
climbed Everest,Eva

Finally, the dataset represents seven records:

• event record that says Donell visited Japan in 2001-01-01
• event record that says Eva climbed Everest in 2003-03-03
• date record that says 2001-01-01
• date record that says 2003-03-03
• name record that says Eva
• name record that says Donell
• a _ record, pronounced schema record, that says "event" has a "date" and a "name"

To remove records from the dataset, delete corresponding lines from the tablets.
