I would like to create a table like the one I show in the image but I'm a bit lost.
Let's see if someone can help me.
Thank you.

Here's a solution which uses the l column type for the first column and the r column type for the six data columns. To give the table material a more open "look", no vertical lines are drawn, and the line-drawing macros of the booktabs package are used in place of \hline and \cline.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs} % for well-spaced horizontal rules
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{} l *{6}{r} @{}} % "@{}" eliminates horizontal whitespace padding.
\toprule
Database & \multicolumn{6}{c@{}}{Number of operations} \\
\cmidrule(l){2-7}
& 10 & 50 & 100 & 1000 & 10000 & 100000 \\
\midrule
MongoDB & 61 & 75 & 84 & 387 & 2693 & 23354 \\
RavenDB & 570 & 898 & 1213 & 6939 & 71343 & 740450 \\
\ldots\\
MS Sql Express & 30 & 94 & 129 & 1790 & 15588 & 216479 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}
In addition to novski's answer, here is a variant using rules from booktabs for a more open appearance and siunitx for better alignment of number.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[group-minimum-digits=4]{siunitx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{l
S[table-format=3]
S[table-format=3]
S[table-format=4]
S[table-format=4]
S[table-format=5]
S[table-format=6]}
\toprule
\multirow{2.5}{*}{Database} & \multicolumn{6}{c}{Number of operations} \\
\cmidrule{2-7}
& 10 & 50 & 100 & 1000 & 10000 & 100000\\
\midrule
MongoDB & 61 & 75 & 84 & 387 & 2693 & 23354 \\
RavenDB & 570 & 898 & 1213 & 6939 & 71343 & 740450 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Here is the variant without the \multirow:
\toprule
Database & \multicolumn{6}{c}{Number of operations} \\
\cmidrule{2-7}

1You may want to add the
siunitxoptiongroup-minimum-digits=4to avoid some unevenness across rows.– MicoCommented Jan 12, 2019 at 14:13 -
In addition to
group-minimum-digits=4, the last column should haveS[table-format=7]. I'd not use\multirow, as the upper left cell has no reason for being lowered, being a first level header.– egregCommented Jan 12, 2019 at 14:35 -
@Mico: Thanks for your suggestion. I have implemented into the answer. Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 15:29

@egreg: Thanks for your correction and suggestion as well. I have implemened both in the answer. Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 15:29
i use this dependencies:
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multirow}
~
\begin{longtable}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Database} & \multicolumn{6}{c|}{Number of operations} \\\cline{2-7}
& 10 & 50 & 100 & 1000 & 10000 & 1000000\\\hline\endhead
MongoDB & 61 & 75 & 84 & 387 & 2693 & 23354 \\
RavenDB & 570 & 898 & 1213 & 6939 & 71343 & 740450 \\ \hline
\caption{Database evaluation}
\label{tab:databaseeval}
\end{longtable}

3Why do you usa a
longtable? The table in the question seems to be short enought to fit onto a single page. Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 12:28 -
i use longtable for everything because it wraps the environement 'table' and lets you directly write the caption and label in to the begin without doubling the env. like table-tabular. i will add that to the sample.– novskiCommented Jan 12, 2019 at 12:31

longtableis not a floating environment." (See: tex.stackexchange.com/a/215443/134144) You might want to keep that in mind when usinglongtable. Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 12:39 -
In the OP's screenshot, the numbers in the six data columns are right-aligned, not centered. You may want to mention how the OP could get right-aligned numbers.– MicoCommented Jan 12, 2019 at 14:05

2You wrote "i use longtable for everything because it wraps the environement 'table' ." What if the table is fairly short (as is the case here) and should not, under any circumstance, be broken across pages?– MicoCommented Jan 12, 2019 at 14:22
tables. here on site are tons of similar question.\multicolumncommand and for 'Database' you might want to have a look at the\multirowcommand.
