Re: [eclipselink-dev] bug 340329 - table creation prefix 
Hi Tom,

you are right. The "prefix" will replace "CREATE TABLE". I didn't find a
better word.
On the other hand internally EclipseLink uses "prefix" already for create
temporary table. Therefore it is not MaxDB specific.

Best regards
Xu

What would a typical prefix be?  (is it really a prefix, or a replacement
for 
"CREATE TABLE"?  Is PREFIX the right terminology?)

When would someone choose to use a prefix?  Is this a MAXDB specific thing?
