    # Generate an ActiveRecord::Schema
    #
    # xBase data types are converted to generic types as follows:
    # - Number columns with no decimals are converted to :integer
    # - Number columns with decimals are converted to :float
    # - Date columns are converted to :datetime
    # - Logical columns are converted to :boolean
    # - Memo columns are converted to :text
    # - Character columns are converted to :string and the :limit option is set
    #   to the length of the character column
    #
    # Example:
    #   create_table "mydata" do |t|
    #     t.column :name, :string, :limit => 30
    #     t.column :last_update, :datetime
    #     t.column :is_active, :boolean
    #     t.column :age, :integer
    #     t.column :notes, :text
    #   end
    #
    # @return [String]
