I think to remember that the examples assume that you have a line like::
from tables import *
at the beginning of your code. Then, all these objects should be
visible.
Alternatively, if you don't like to 'pollute' your name space with
all the pytables objects, could use ``tables.Int8Col()`` in your
source instead of ``Int8Col()``.
Hope that helps,
Hans
