Answer:

The domain is always discrete when it is found from a table.

Explanation:

A table necessarily lists a finite number of discrete points. The domain, as found from a table, is always discrete.

__

If the table is said to be a representation of a continuous function, then the domain of that continuous function will be continuous.

Your question seems to have to do with a table alone, not a table and an equation, or a table and a graph. A table (of points) alone cannot express a continuous domain.

Additional comments

One can conceive of tables that would have continuous domains, as, for example, a table with entries ...

(x, y) = (0 ≤ x < 3, 3x+2), (3 ≤ x < 6, 4x-1), ...

Such a table is not a list of points, but is a piecewise function definition. We presume this is not what you're concerned with.
