create_table_from_csv fails with MySql about cubes

[Stiivi]

Thank you for reporting. The method for loading data to CSV is just for tutorial purposes and is just "quick hack". I do not think that full-featured CSV loading method should be part of Cubes, as the ETL is out-of-scope of this framework.

I was thinking to remove the tutorial helpers completely and add tutorial dependency on Brewery which has better functions to handle data piping between different storages.

For the time being, try to load data this way:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlimport.html

Meanwhile I will think of a reasonable fix without adding too much complexity. Perhaps defaulting for strings to be 200-500 characters long for tutorials would be enough... What do you think?

Fixed with default str length.

I can confirm it works on my machine, with this change.

The default is probably fine (Although perhaps 255 is a better choice than 256). With many columns, the table could get rather large in storage, but if that's an issue, I guess one should just load the table manually instead. For defaults it seems reasonable.
