The purpose of using 'create domain' is as given
in the example below. I defined domain name 'EMPLOYED'
and use in create table - see the field 'EMPLOYED' is
of data-type EMPLOYED:
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYER (
PERSON_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
EMPLOYER VARCHAR(60),
EMPLOYED EMPLOYED,
^^^^^^^^^^
UNIQUE (PATIENT_ID));
The datatype employed is defined by domain which also
restricts the values to "YES" or "NO" or "RETIRED" or "DISABLED" or
NULL.
