I can find nearly no useful tutorials or example for MDB2 (MDB as well). There are some docs, but the docs linked from the MDB2 PEAR page seem to be missing a lot, such as MDB2_Driver_Common, and the query, prepare, and execute methods. I had to look at the new API reference section or the source to fins anything useful. That being said, on to my questions.

Ok, I guess I must have missed the MDB docs. I'm looking through them now, but I would still like answers to my questions.

A quick followup, with some links to DB_Table docs: This is how you define the table schema (extended example code with narrative):

(Note that, once you define a schema, the first time you call your DB_Table object, DB_Table creates the table for you automatically.) These are the supported datatypes:
