Sql Create Tables Lab

Building off of what we've learned about creating tables and column types, let's play around with writing SQL CREATE statements.

Learning Objectives

1. Learn to write SQL CREATE statements
2. Learn about the different column types supported in SQL and SQLite3

About this Lab

Let's take a look at this lab's structure, which will seem slightly different than what you've been working with before.

├── Gemfile
├── README.md
├── bin
│   ├── environment.rb # requires bundler and files
│   ├── run.rb # instantiates the SQLRunner class in the below file
│   └── sql_runner.rb # holds a class that handles executing your .sql files
├── lib
│   ├── create.sql # where you create your schema
└── spec # all the specs
    ├── create_spec.rb # this tests your create_table.sql file
    └── spec_helper.rb

The way SQL labs work is that you'll write your SQL statements in .sql files in the lib/ directory, and the run.rb file in bin/ will execute them using the sql_runner.rb class. When you run the tests, the SQLRunner class is called and a new database is created in memory for the tests.

Todo

Create a table called cats with the following columns and types:

column	type
id	primary key
name	text
age	integer
gender	char(1)(The choices would be "M" or "F")
breed	text
temperment	text
declawed	boolean
