Re: convert dds to ddl

Hi, Crispin:

AFAIK, CREATE TABLE creates a physical file with only "arrival sequence" 
(access path), so if you have a physical file that has keys, you cannot 
create a direct equivalent with only a TABLE ...

You would have to create an SQL INDEX also, and so then, what would you 
propose to do? Perhaps create the TABLE with a (slightly) different 
name, and then create an SQL INDEX with the same name as the original 
"keyed" physical file?

Would not that be the same as the previously suggested approach of 
creating a Logical File with the same name as the original file, and 
that has the necessary keys also defined? Then, CRTLF will create the 
logical file which will also have the correct (possibly shared) access 
path associated with it.
