Generate/Consume 'table' values from CSV Reader/Writer #408

Open lafernando opened 4 years ago

$subject. Currently CSV works with just string[], it would be better if we have enhanced functionality where it works with 'table' types, and allows it to be conveniently used with queries.

New high-level CSV APIs provide support to read CSV content as streams[1]. Please check whether satisfies the requirement.

Not really; the main requirement is to get a data structure that has columns named so we can query them easily, e.g. in language -integrated queries. So still a string[] stream does not solve this, it's still similar to the earlier available functionality. So the most natural data structure I see for this requirement is to use a table.
