//! Example: Create a Hyper file from CSV
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to:
//! - Load data from a CSV file into a new Hyper file
//! - Use the SQL COPY command to import CSV data
//! - Configure process and connection parameters
//!
//! This is a Rust port of the C++ example `create_hyper_file_from_csv.cpp`.
//!
//! Run with: cargo run -p hyperdb-api --example `create_hyper_file_from_csv`
