RE: Reality check on PFs created as SQL TABLEs

This may be an oversimplification, but anything DDS PFs & LFs support, SQL does as well.

If I'm not sure how SQL "replicates" a DDS feature, I'll use the Generate SQL function in Run SQL Scripts to generate the converted SQL source for DDS PF & LF objects.

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.)
