Table Location
Control tables can reside in static storage, on auxiliary storage, such as a flat file or on a database or may alternatively be partially or entirely built dynamically at program initialization time from parameters (which themselves may reside in a table). For optimum efficiency, the table should be memory resident when the interpreter begins to use it.

Famous quotes containing the word table:
“the moderate Aristotelian city
Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
