Am creating a school management system, but am locked somewhere. I don't know how to enter every students' name,subject and its scores separately
And I think the problem is all from the database.
I have a table with these fields
(Name, Class, Subject, examscore and class score).
Let's say I will first insert
Jack's name, his class, Subject (English), his exams score, class score.

Secondly, when I try to insert another scores for Mathematics, it will change the first subject i inserted to Mathematics.

I need your help

As for inserting, am able to do that but my problem is how to create a table which can accumulate as much as five subjects and its scores respectively.
Let's say a table which will permit me to insert every student's name,class and all the five subjects and its class score and exams score

If I understand your question correctly you don't need one table, you need several. Each table should contain different entities, for example
- Person, containing name, class etc
- Subject containing name and so on
- Grade containing information about individual grades for persons and so on
I suggest going through Database normalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^] before creating the tables.
