#   This function generates a table definition based on an
#   input list. The input list consists of references, each
#   reference referring to a single column. The column
#   reference consists of column name, type, size and a bitmask of
#   certain flags, namely
#
#       $COL_NULLABLE - true, if this column may contain NULL's
#       $COL_KEY - true, if this column is part of the table's
#           primary key
#
#   Hopefully there's no big need for you to modify this function,
#   if your database conforms to ANSI specifications.
