Is there some way to create a table via SQL (not DDS) with no
null-capable columns, other than specifying NOT NULL on every single
column?
I'm not seeing any other way.
If that's correct (that the only way is to specify NOT NULL on every
column), would it be because, in SQL World, this is usually a Bad
Idea?

using create table all columns are null capable by default and you would
have to specify not null for every column, you want or need it.
For primary key columns you must not specify not null (it's impossible)-
Foreign key columns should be null capable, if so you could have a foreign
key constraint and it would be possible to insert a record without
specifying the foreign key values.
For all other columns you could do, what you want/what is needed.
The real benefit with null capable fields is coming up with constraints and
it*s best practice and strongly recommend to use constraints.
