Is there a simple way to explain the difference between a table and a
physical file a part from one is created by SQL and the other with DDS?
Should it bug me when a coworker says table but means a PF? It does and
I'm not sure why.

The difference between a table and a physical file is the same as the
difference between a thing and an object.

Well, that is unless the table you're referring to is the thing that holds
your supper. There is a difference there, I hope. :)

I'm not sure why it bothers you either. But I am sure that it shouldn't.
