We refer to the components of the Data Definition Language (DDL) as directives.
The SQL directive for adding tables to a database is create table.
At a minimum, as we saw in Example 5.2.1, creating a tabular variable
in SQL requires that we specify its name and its attributes along with their
domains. The syntax for this is:
create table table name
[(attr def {,attr def })],
where the attribute definition attr def has the syntax:
attribute name domain
