Create a database table to exemplify most commonly used data types and options.

AWK
AWK + SQLite
AWK is just a glue language. Simply pipe the creation command into SQLite and capture the output. <lang awk>#!/bin/sh -f awk ' BEGIN {
"echo \"create table pow (name, rank, serno);\" |sqlite3 pow.db" | getline print "Result: " $0 exit;
} '</lang>
C
Most database tables store data as text, number (mostly integer) and date or date time columns. Specialized requirements would need BLOB and other datatypes. The following implementation requires SQLite.
<lang C>
- include <sqlite3.h>
- include <stdlib.h>
- include <stdio.h>
int main() {
sqlite3 *db = NULL; char *errmsg;
const char *code = "CREATE TABLE employee (\n" " empID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,\n" " firstName TEXT NOT NULL,\n" " lastName TEXT NOT NULL,\n" " AGE INTEGER NOT NULL,\n" " DOB DATE NOT NULL)\n" ;
if ( sqlite3_open("employee.db", &db) == SQLITE_OK ) { sqlite3_exec(db, code, NULL, NULL, &errmsg); sqlite3_close(db); } else { fprintf(stderr, "cannot open db...\n"); sqlite3_close(db); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } return 0;
} </lang>
J
If we define a table
as a named collection of columns, and we define a type
as a mechanism for the representation of some kind of data, then:
<lang j>stocks=: |: ,: ;:'date trans symbol qty price' insertStock=: 3 :'0#stocks=: stocks,.y' insertStock@".;._2]0 :0
'2006-01-05'; 'BUY'; 'RHAT'; 100; 35.14 '2006-03-28'; 'BUY'; 'IBM'; 1000; 45.00 '2006-04-05'; 'BUY'; 'MSOFT'; 1000; 72.00 '2006-04-06'; 'SELL'; 'IBM'; 500; 53.00
)</lang>
declares a table and some data within that table.
And, here's an example of sorting:
<lang j>cols=: cols=: [:; {."1@[ <@i.`(<@i.@#@[)@.(=&(<,'*')@]"1 0) cutopen@] sortBy=: [ /: a: |:@,. [ }.@{~ cols from=: cols~ {"0 _ ] select=: |:
select '*' from stocks sortBy 'price'
┌─────┬──────┬─────┬────┬──────────┐ │trans│symbol│price│qty │date │ ├─────┼──────┼─────┼────┼──────────┤ │BUY │RHAT │35.14│100 │2006-01-05│ ├─────┼──────┼─────┼────┼──────────┤ │BUY │IBM │45 │1000│2006-03-28│ ├─────┼──────┼─────┼────┼──────────┤ │BUY │MSOFT │72 │1000│2006-04-05│ ├─────┼──────┼─────┼────┼──────────┤ │SELL │IBM │53 │500 │2006-04-06│ └─────┴──────┴─────┴────┴──────────┘</lang>
Note that this particular example is both overly general in some senses (for example, named column handling has features not demonstrated here) and overly specific in others (for example, I did not implement sort in descending order).
Also, a properly tuned system would likely use different code (for example, you could get better performance if you put an entire column into a box instead of introducing a new box for each element in a column).

The most natural way to store tabular data in GP is in a matrix: <lang parigp>m=matrix(10,3); m[1,] = ["Barack", "Obama", 20500]; \\ ...</lang>
Perl 6
In Perl 6, there is no 'database' type built in, so it is somewhat ambiguous when specifying 'create a database table'. Perl 6 offers bindings to most common databases through its DBIish module but mostly abstracts away the differences between the underlying databases, which hides many of the finer distinctions of what may be stored where. The actual data types and options available are properties of the database used.
If on the other hand, we are meant to show built in collective types that may be used to hold tabular data, this may be of some use.
In general, a container type can hold objects of any data type, even instances of their own type; allowing 'multi-dimensional' (tabular) containers.
Perl 6 offers two broad categories of collective container types; those that do the Positional role and those that do Associative. Positional objects are collective objects that access the individual storage slots using an integer index. Associative objects use some sort of other pointer (typically string) to access their storage slots.
The various Associative types mostly differ in their value handling. Hash, Map and QuantHash may have any type of object as their value. All the others have some specific, usually numeric, type as their value.
Positional - Object that supports looking up values by integer index Array Sequence of itemized objects List Immutable sequence of objects Associative - Object that supports looking up values by key (typically string) Bag Immutable collection of distinct objects with integer weights BagHash Mutable collection of distinct objects with integer weights Hash Mapping from strings to itemized values Map Immutable mapping from strings to values Mix Immutable collection of distinct objects with Real weights MixHash Mutable collection of distinct objects with Real weights QuantHash Collection of objects represented as hash keys Set Immutable collection of distinct objects, no value except 'present' SetHash Mutable collection of distinct objects, no value except 'present'
If you want a persistent instance of any of these types, you need to declare the name with some scope constraint, but the are no prerequisites to creating instances. Simply assigning values to them will call them into existence.

Python
The sqlite3 database is a part of the Python standard library. It does not associate type with table columns, any cell can be of any type. <lang python>>>> import sqlite3 >>> conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:') >>> c = conn.cursor() >>> c.execute(create table stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text,
qty real, price real))
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x013263B0> >>> # Insert a row of data c.execute("""insert into stocks
values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""")
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x013263B0> >>> for t in [('2006-03-28', 'BUY', 'IBM', 1000, 45.00),
('2006-04-05', 'BUY', 'MSOFT', 1000, 72.00), ('2006-04-06', 'SELL', 'IBM', 500, 53.00), ]:
c.execute('insert into stocks values (?,?,?,?,?)', t)
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x013263B0>

REXX
REXX doesn't have tables (structures), as there is only one data type in
REXX: character
However, tables (or structures) can be constructed by using stemmed arrays,
the index would (should) be a
unique identifier, something akin to a
SSN (Social Security Number) or something similar.
<lang rexx> id = 000112222 /*could be a SSN or some other unique ID (or number).*/
table.id.!firstname = 'Robert' table.id.!middlename = 'Jon' table.id.!lastname = 'Smith' table.id.!dob = '06/09/1946' table.id.!gender = 'm' table.id.!phone = '(111)-222-3333' table.id.!addr = '123 Elm Drive\Apartment 6A' table.id.!town = 'Gotham City' table.id.!state = 'NY' table.id.!zip = '12345-6789'</lang>

} proc table_format table {
set maxs {} foreach item [lindex $table 0] { set item [lindex [split $item |] 0] lappend maxs [string length $item] } foreach row [lrange $table 1 end] { set i 0 foreach item $row max $maxs { if {[string length $item]>$max} {lset maxs $i [string length $item]} incr i } } set head + foreach max $maxs {append head -[string repeat - $max]-+} set res $head\n foreach row $table { if {$row eq [lindex $table 0]} { regsub -all {\|[^ ]+} $row "" row } append res | foreach item $row max $maxs { append res [format " %-${max}s |" $item] } append res \n if {$row eq [lindex $table 0]} { append res $head \n } } append res $head
