== Database language? ==
It seems the creator of the tasks had Oracle or SQL Server in mind. But statistical software is often used to store addresses. Even Excel is used for such data. A question then: is it allowed to simply create an empty table with such software? There is already a case: while SAS sems to be using SQL, it actually creates a "classic" SAS dataset, with integrated SQL syntax. Along with SAS, R and Stata are perfectly able to store data tables, though none of them may be considered a database language. I'll add a Stata example to show this.
