   > It would be also interesting to support "custom" types in CREATE TABLE 
statements. This would help to migrate tests like this one 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/master/datafusion/core/tests/sql/aggregates.rs#L913-L976
 to sqllogictest.
   
    I was thinking we could use `CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...` which creates 
columns based on the types of the SELECT query
   
   So I think we could make a int8 column in a table like
   
   ```
   CREATE TABLE foo as select arrow_cast(c', 'Int8') as c_int8 from foo
   ```
