Maybe but the cards are made up of rows, each row with fields.
Think like a spreadsheet. Each sheet can have references to
other sheets - like Tabs in Excel

Liam,
I think what you want is called a view. A view is a memory based table
defined by a query as follows:
CREATE VIEW myview (
column1,
column2,
... )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM table1
END;
In this example, you can now SELECT * FROM myview, and get table1. You
can put joined tables or
I don't think you can do exactly that. But SQL does have powerful capabilities to do selects on
multiple tables at once. It's called a 'join' and it is very common.
For examples suppose you have a customer database with a Customer table:
cust_id cust_name
