"""Python interface to the Casacore tables module.
A `casacore table <../../casacore/doc/html/group__Tables__module.html>`_
is similar to a relational data base table with the extension
that table cells can contain n-dimensional arrays.
It has a rich SQL-like query language
(`TaQL <../../doc/199.html>`_).
A table consists of numbered rows and named columns. A column can hold
scalar values or arrays of any dimensionality and shape. Furthermore the
table and each column can hold a set of keywords (e.g. to define the units).
It is nestable, thus the value of a keyword can be a keyword set in itself.
The `tables` module consists of a few classes:
:class:`table`
main module to open, create, access, and query tables
:class:`tablecolumn`
access the contents of a column in an easier way
:class:`tablerow`
access the contents of table rows or parts of it
:class:`tableiter`
iterate through a table based on the contents of one or more columns
:class:`tableindex`
build and use an index on one or more table columns
submodule `tableutil <#table-utility-functions>`_
table utility functions (e.g. to create a table description)
submodule `msutil <#measurementset-utility-functions>`_
MeasuementSet utility functions (e.g. to concat MSs)
