How tables get created is important for all the reasons you point out, but

don't think we should start calling SQL created PF's tables and DDS

created

PF's files, do you ?

I don't mean to be pedantic (always wanted to use that word <g>), but there
are enough differences that maybe we should.

Another difference between a DDL created table and a DDS created PF is that
the table can have one and only one member. That's been discussed here
before, but I don't think it was mentioned in this thread.
