The CREATE TABLE statement creates a Neoview SQL table. The CREATE VOLATILE TABLE
statement creates a Neoview SQL table in a SQL session. The CREATE TABLE AS statement
creates a table based on the data attributes of a SELECT query and populates the table using the
data returned by the SELECT query. A CREATE SET TABLE is like any other normal table with
the additional property of discarding duplicate rows. See
