No.  Columns are not automatically created.  As for do***entation,
what you see is the standard way of describing SQL.  I agree it can be
confusing in the beginning.

If all you want to do is load data into a database to look at it, you
might look at MS Access or Filemaker.  I don't recommend these as
database solutions, but as more of an excel replacement.
