Sure. I thought it would be DBD::File, as the *file* is empty and thus
would do the same for all DBD::File related DBD's. It might even
warrant a new attribute to allow this as normally in DBI a table always
has columns (but not always rows). If a file is empty, it doesn't even
have columns. Not all databases allow the creation of "empty" tables, as
in a table with no rows at all. Postgres does, but Unify and Oracle do
not.

I have included the devel list to see how others think
