 Guidance
For each object you create, put the SQL into a
separate file.
For this class, put items into files named as:
all SQL statements <object_name>.sql
all PL/SQL statements <procedurename>.pl
all data <tablename>.dat
all control <table>.ctl
Hardcopy of all of these files must be included in
the package you turn in for the final project.

state CHAR(2),
zip CHAR(10)
