No, there is not: the gda_prepare_create_table() and associated
similar functions are for a quick and easy usage of Libgda's basic
tasks, but for a better control, you'll have to use the
GdaServerOperation objects direclty. To simplify this, you can use the
actual implementation of gda_prepare_create_table() as a starting
point.
