To insert any data (map) on SPRING one must define what data will me manipulated, ie. to define the database modelling.
Defining a Data Model for a database means specify the Categories and Classes (if a thematic model), besides presentation characteristics of data and descriptive atributes of Objects or non spatial tables
On SPRING. every and each map must belong to a Category, ie. must belong to one of these types: Thematic, Numerical, or Image, if data belongs to type Network or Cadastral (object maps) , if belongs to Object with it descriptive atributes, or still, Non-Spatial, in case of alphanumeric tables .
See :
On database modelling are defined Tables to insert, store and retrieve data's descriptive atributes. To object and non-spatial categories exists a unique Atribute Table where it's fields are defined by the atributes given by the user.
What's a SPRING project and how to create it ?
About SPRING conceptual model
To non-spatial model table name must be given. An atribute table will be automatically related at the SPRING database, if table name was given correctly.
Creating tables before working doesn't mean that user must create all tables at once. Usually, it is created when is needed.
Creating Tables:
After creating a table you can at anytime create descriptive Atributes... of this table.

Non-Spatial and Object Table definition
A table can only be remove if and only if there's no associated information.
To a Object Table must not exist one or more associated objects.
To a Non Spatial Table must nove exist a internal link on the database.
