79 // <synopsis>
80 // Tables are the fundamental storage mechanism for Casacore.
81 // Tables themselves are a logical organization of the data.
82 // Table data are physically stored (or calculated on the fly)
83 // using data managers.
84 // <br>Casacore ships with several data managers, but it is possible
85 // to write a specific data manager that can be loaded dynamically
86 // from a shared library.
87 // <br>See the <linkto module="Tables:Data Managers">Tables module</linkto>
88 // for more information.
