1 Data Types

The library makes visible two data types, the ‘database’ and the ‘table’ types. The former identifies data stores, while the former data tables within.

Data of both types may be referred any number of times.

Ordinary assigment via ‘=’ operators does not create data copies, and is instead adding references to existing data. Data structure copying that would ordinarily copy data does not create data copies, either.
