---------------

    Let's create a table in your database to use in this chapter's
    examples.  The *Test* view of the Database Connection allows you
    to send SQL statements directly to your database. You can create
    tables by typing SQL code directly into the *Test* view; there is
    no need to use a SQL Method to create tables.  Create a table
    called *employees* with the following SQL code::

      CREATE TABLE employees
      (
      emp_id integer,
      first varchar,
      last varchar,
      salary float
      )

       What other kind of column types does ZSQL support?

       These are postgresql specific SQL commands. ZSQL supports whatever commands the underlying SQL DB supports.
