Hello Sujee,

Thanks for your enquiry. The main reason why jOOQ supports DDL statements
is the fact that developers may want to quickly reproduce a simplified
version of their schema on a test database like H2, for instance. The
workflow would be :

- Write DDL for Oracle
- Generate jOOQ classes from your DDL
- Generate DDL for H2 and execute it
- Run integration tests using jOOQ classes on H2 instead of Oracle

We cannot go beyond the above, because each vendor has a very rich set of
syntax extensions to the SQL standard, involving storage clauses, hints,
flags, etc. While we could add support for the keywords you've mentioned
(DISTKEY, SORTKEY, DISTSTYLE), you would be quickly missing other keywords
later on, again.

This is why we generally suggest using something like Flyway for database
migrations and DDL management. Since Flyway is a SQL template based API, it
will not suffer from these limitations.

I hope this helps,
Lukas
