```python
db[""dummy""].create({
""title"": str,
""vector"": ""array"",
})
```
I'm slightly nervous about that just because people might accidentally use this without realizig what they are doing - passing `""column-name"": ""string""` for example when they should have used `""column-name"": str` in order to get a `TEXT` column.
Alternatively, this could work:
```python
db[""dummy""].create({
""title"": str,
""vector"": CustomColumnType(""array"")
})
```
This would play better with `mypy` too I think.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1128466114,Creating tables with custom datatypes,

This pushes you into the mindspace that you are defining and working with a custom column type.
When creating the table, you could then error, or at least warn, if someone wasn't setting a column on a `type` or a custom column type, which I guess is where `mypy` comes in?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1128466114,Creating tables with custom datatypes,

Other possible pairs: unconventional date/datetime and timezone pairs eg `2022-02-16::17.00, London`; or more generally, numerical value and unit of measurement pairs (eg if you want to cast into and out of different measurement units using packages like `pint`) or currencies etc. Actually, in that case, I guess you may be presenting things that are unit typed already, and so a conversion would need to parse things into an appropriate, possibly two column `value, unit` format.
