Nice tip, Vern ... use RENAME TABLE after the file exists.

The fact that it works shouldn't be a surprise to me, I have used ALTER
TABLE to add and remove columns from tables created via DDS.

I suppose the notion of DDS being mutually exclusive from DDL and visa
versa is materially flawed. The actual database objects (files) are
identical in most respects.
