Default Table Style

Question

How can I create a default table style, which remains throughout the course of my document, lets say, for example, I want grid-lines and a gray shading behind the header-row, without having to explicitly format every table instance to this standard, is it possible to define these styling flavors in the preamble to affect all tables, in effect, on a global basis?

The first linked question in the Related section is really related: How to separate table content and table style — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 14 '13 at 01:02
To ADP: could we close this as a duplicate of @Qrrbrbirlbel link- there's a few different solutions, one of which uses pgfplotstable package with complete MWEs.... let us know if it is different, and if so, it might be nice to elaborate a little :) — cmhughes, May 14 '13 at 21:23
Just close it off, Qrrbrbirbel's like is what I had in mind. — Nicholas Hamilton, May 14 '13 at 21:47

Try the package cals. I wrote it with a similar need in mind.

Welcome to TeX-SX. Would you consider adding your information to our package maintainers database? http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1181/who-are-the-package-maintainers-here – percusse May 14 '13 at 21:26
Yes, I think it's good to be listed. But I have no rights to edit the list and see no obvious way to submit the data. Would you please do it for me? cals http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cals Oleg Parashchenko https://github.com/olpa/tex/tree/master/cals – olpa May 15 '13 at 06:05
@olpa: I've added the entry; I think now you should have enough rep to propose edits on meta. – Charles Stewart May 15 '13 at 06:55
