DataTable Magick

Rapid DataTable creation

DataTable dtConfig = new DataTable("CONFIG");
dtConfig.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("key", typeof(System.String)));
dtConfig.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("value", typeof(System.String)));
dtConfig.Rows.Add("foo", "bar");
dtConfig.Rows.Add("connString", "Data Source=urmum");

// initialise
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.TableName = "foo";

// add meta data
DataColumn col = dtColumns.Add("CustID", typeof(Int32));
DataColumn col = dtColumns.Add("Name", typeof(String));

// insert row

Assume that your data table looks like this

|field_name|other fields we don't care about|
|----------+--------------------------------|
|foo       |                                |
|bar       |                                |

	console.log('typeahead %s', typeAheadList._id);

	var words = Todos.find({list_id : typeAheadList._id});
