1) The column def is part of a larger table def. I would have to either repeat the column def or the entire table to handle the two types. 2) Defining multiple columns would make it impossible for me to scan down that column and choose a row based on a value in that column. 3) Defining multiple tables would lead to an explosion of table defs and is simply not practical. I would need a separate table def for every combination of types in different columns.
So its the desire to scan a column for a specific value that drives this, along with the fact that my columns are defined inside table objects.
