Help me find a good typedef name for the following type

[Eric Lilja]

Hello, got an odd question. I need a good typedef name for the type:
std::vector<std::vector<std::pair<std::string, std::string> > >

Even with using-statements to get rid of std:: it's simply too long and
makes for keeping lines within a length of 80 columns cumbersome.

I am using an object of that type to store matching rows (with a varying
number of non-NULL columns) from an SQL database. The first string in the
pair holds the field name and the second the field value.

typedef std::pair<std::string, std::string> column_value_t;
typedef std::vector<column_value_t> record_t;
typedef std::vector<record_t> table_t;

Possibly you'd be better off by representing the NULL columns explicitly,
and store the field names just once, in a separate vector.

However,

typedef std::pair<std::string, std::string> NameValuePair;
typedef std::vector<NameValuePair> DbResultRow;
typedef std::vector<DbResultRow> DbResultTable;
typedef DbResultTable DbView;
