```python
db[""cats""].create({
    ""id"": int,
    ""name"": str,
    ""weight"": float,
}, pk=""id"")
```
So using a dictionary of column name -> Python type here would be good.

I think it becomes a new optional argument to `.insert_all()` and `.insert()` and `.upsert_all()` and `.upsert()`. Question is, what should that argument be called?

Options:

- `columns`
- `types`
- `type_overrides`
- `extra_columns`

I like the first two best. I'm leaning towards `columns` - it would serve two purposes: you can use it to ensure extra columns are created, and you can use it to specify the type on extra OR deteced columns.

Maybe something like this:

```python
db[""authors""].insert_all(
    [{""id"": 1, ""name"": ""Sally"", ""score"": ""2""}],
    pk=""id"",
    not_null={""name"", ""score""},
    defaults={""score"": 1},
    columns={""score"": int, ""weight"": float}
)

```python
rows = db[""table""].rows_where(""age > 10"", order_by=""age desc"")
```

If you want everything you can use this:

```python
rows = db[""table""].rows_where(order_by=""age desc"")
```

It's a tiny bit weird calling `.rows_where()` without a where clause, but I think it makes sense here - especially since `.rows` is a property that can't take any arguments - though under the hood it actually does this:
