Devon, my previous reply also brought to mind a very good example you request 
below …

In kdb+ the “table” datatype is built atop the “dictionary” data type… a table 
may be perceived as a list of dictionaries (Key value pairs) that are 
Columns/Values.  I’ll send you a paper offline that shows this.

Thanks, Regards Rob
