Problem Statement

Create a table to store addresses. You may assume that all the addresses to be stored will be located in the USA.   As such, you will need (in addition to a field holding a unique identifier) a field holding the street address, a field holding the city, a field holding the state code, and a field holding the zipcode.   Choose appropriate types for each field. For non-database languages, show how you would open a connection to a database (your choice of which) and create an address table in it. You should follow the existing models here for how you would structure the table.

Let's start with the solution:

// connect to a Mysql database
inline(-database = 'rosettatest', -sql = "CREATE TABLE `address` (
    `id`       int(11)     NOT NULL   auto_increment,
    `street`   varchar(50) NOT NULL   default '',
    `city`     varchar(25) NOT NULL   default '',
    `state`    char(2)     NOT NULL   default '',
    `zip`      char(10)    NOT NULL   default '',
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
") => {^
	error_msg
