    The definition for a column in the table. SQL gives you two ways
    to specify column definitions:

    o  By directly specifying a data type to associate with a column
       name

    o  By naming a domain that indirectly specifies a data type to
       associate with a column name

    Either way also allows options of specifying column constraints
    and formatting clauses.
