Talk:Table creation/Postal addresses: Difference between revisions

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 nonnone of them may be considered a database language. I'll add a Stata example to show this.
