Why isn't this done on a per-session basis? Having a session setting for the
common case and a CREATE-TABLE clause for the specifics sounds natural.
When a single table needs to be restored all one needs to to is changing the
session setting before running the CREATE command. The alternative clause
in CREATE-TABLE statements would be used as a cleaner way of expressing
the same thing without affecting the session, when the statement's text can
be entered manually (as opposed to loading it from an existing dumpfile).
The default for the session setting could be set in the configuration file
then.
