I think you do have to create the external data file with SQL. It has a special format. Notice that if you index fields in the external data file it does not create a .4dindx file. The index is embedded inside the data file. "Normal" 4D data files have the indexes stored in "segment 64" which is the .4dindx file. Segments didn't die, they are just hidden from us.
