DDL Statements
CREATE INDEX If the CREATE INDEX statement contains the option PARALLEL 
EXECUTION ON CONFIG config-file, note that:
SDR does not move the config-file to the backup system so it 
must be moved to the backup by other means
SDR translates the primary config-file name to the backup 
config-file name 
The content of the config-file must specify volume and file 
names on the backup system
CREATE TABLE CREATE TABLE LIKE references an existing table for column 
definitions. This table must be present on the backup system, with 
the name that RDF would use if it were replicating that table.
If the table is partitioned, all partitions must be replicated by RDF.
CREATE VIEW A shorthand view is a SQL object that is neither audited nor 
unaudited. When a shorthand view is created on the primary system, 
SDR assumes it is audited and captures it just as it would an audited 
table creation.
On the backup system, the SDR updater examines the tables 
referenced in the CREATE VIEW statement. If any of those tables 
are audited, SDR replicates the CREATE VIEW; otherwise, it 
considers the view to be unaudited and does not replicate it unless 
the UNAUDITEDDDL global parameter is set to ON.
DROP CATALOG DROP processing depends on how RDF REPLICATEPURGE is set.

DROP VIEW DROP processing depends on how RDF REPLICATEPURGE is set.

DUP DUP is an SQLCI utility, not a standard DDL operation. It is not 
replicated by SDR.
