* Representation of a table in an RDBMS.
*
* There are 2 aspects to a table. The first is the internal representation, provided here.
* This has a state. The second aspect to the table is its external (datastore) representation.
* This reflects whether it exists, or whether it has been deleted, etc.
*
*
* This interface provides some methods for mapping from the internal representation to
* the external representation. These are the methods
*
* - create() - to create the table in the datastore
* - drop() - to drop the table from the datastore
* - validate() - to compare the internal and external representations.
* - exists() - whether the external representation exists
