DESCRIPTION
This updates the tables in the data dictionary to show the addition of this table. The structure of the table is contained in dd, the data definition. A table is created, and a pointer to the table returned.

The type of the table can be either 'T' for a regular table or 'B' for a BTREE table. BTREE tables provide fast access from the primary key, although no further indices are allowed. A BTREE table has little significance within the loader functions, although the gains occur when the table is accessed from SQL, where the query plan generator can use the inherent index.
