That's correct

And this is a big misunderstanding. Multi-file database is eg. for file
systems that doesn't support files longer than 4GB or for some other
reasons. You cannot choose where the table is located. Declaring
EXTERNAL FILE in CREATE TABLE syntax is just for declaring tables that
aren't stored in database file but somewhere else. Structure of that
file differs from structure of database file and there are some
limitations when you're using external table.

That's ok because file TEST.FD1 is already in use by database.

No
