Hi,

I'd created a table for testing an SQL statement by a file transfer from EXCEL. As I was going to make this table permanent, I started writing some DDS.
As the table will be used only by SQL, would there be a performance loss if I used DDS? We don't have any standard yet for storing DDL but I am putting the DDL at least temporarily into a QSQLSRC file to be used by RUNSQLSTM.

Thanks
