+/**
+ * IMPORTANT: When extending this class, always use `this.sdb.newTable()` to
+ * create new tables instead of `new SimpleTable(...)` directly. This ensures
+ * subclasses that override `tableClass` on their parent `SimpleDB` get their
+ * own table type back.
+ *
+ * Represents a table within a SimpleDB database, capable of handling tabular, geospatial, and vector data.
+ * SimpleTable instances are typically created via a SimpleDB instance.
+ *
+ * @category Main
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * // Create a SimpleDB instance (in-memory by default)
+ * const sdb = new SimpleDB();
+ *
+ * // Create a new table named "employees" within the database
+ * const employees = sdb.newTable("employees");
+ *
+ * // Load data from a CSV file into the "employees" table
+ * await employees.loadData("./employees.csv");
+ *
+ * // Log the first few rows of the "employees" table to the console
+ * await employees.logTable();
+ *
+ * // Close the database connection and free up resources
+ * await sdb.done();
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * // Handling geospatial data
+ * // Create a SimpleDB instance
+ * const sdb = new SimpleDB();
+ *
+ * // Create a new table for geospatial data
+ * const boundaries = sdb.newTable("boundaries");
+ *
+ * // Load geospatial data from a GeoJSON file
+ * await boundaries.loadGeoData("./boundaries.geojson");
+ *
+ * // Close the database connection
+ * await sdb.done();

+     *
+     * This method creates a full-text search index on the specified text column using DuckDB's [FTS extension](https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/full_text_search). If the index already exists, it will be reused unless the `overwriteIndex` option is set to `true`.

+     * @param nbResults - The number of top-ranked results to return.

+     * @param options.b - The BM25 b parameter controlling document length normalization (0-1 range). Defaults to 0.75.
+     * @param options.stemmer - The language stemmer to apply for word normalization. Supports multiple languages or "none" to disable stemming. Defaults to 'porter'.
+     * @param options.stopwords - The table containing the stopwords to use for the FTS index. Supports multiple languages or "none" to disable stopwords. Defaults to "english".
+     * @param options.ignore - The regular expression of patterns to be ignored. Defaults to "(\\.|[^a-z])+".

+     * This method computes the proportion of men, women, and non-binary individuals on each row, adding new columns for these proportions.
+     *
+     * @example
+     * ```ts

+     *
+     * By default, the new columns will be named with a suffix of `"Perc"`. You can customize this suffix using the `suffix` option.
