Just to be sure:

There isn't some oddball extension to SQL that I'm not aware of, such that you can create a keyed PF via an SQL CREATE TABLE statement, right?

(I just experienced what I'd thought was a weird asymmetry when attempting to a LF as an SQL INDEX with a descending key; it turned out that I'd misspelled "DESC," and SQL was treating "DSC" as a field rename. You learn something new every day. This has been a fun week so far.)
