multiple tables in orgmode document?

multiple tables in orgmode document?

[Jude DaShiell]

First, can it be done?
Second, can I write text between tables in the document?
Third, can I start a table after first line of document and also end that 
table?

Earlier I wanted to write a document containing notes and tables and found 
it difficult getting emacs-orgmode to end the first table.  I wanted to 
put a dashed line with verticals in it like what we do with the |-<tab> 
command just after writing column headings and couldn't figure out how to 
do that.

You mean besides something like:

| a | b |
|---+---|
| 2 | 3 |


Some text

#+name: some-ther-table
| x | y |
| 4 | 5 |
| 7 | 8 |

etc...

I could start a document out with a table and maybe write some text 
outside of that table below it but then I would need to write a 
different table below that text with different column headings and 
different content.
If necessary, I could also write one table per document and text in 
separate documents but then I'd need to use #INCLUDE statements in those 
files or use the cat command to merge them together correctly.

Yes.  You can do this.  Is this what you want or not what you want?

No need.

Maybe please show us what you want to do as it seems that the example
that John has shown you is not what you want.  Or clarify how John's
example is not what you want.
