Description

This feature jira is for adding support for users being able to specify default table types at each database level. Currently, this is configurable at the service level (HS2) and at each JDBC session-level. The goal is to be able to specify the default table type for each database either when the DB is created (create DB DDL) or at any point later (via alter db DDL).

More details and design docs for this feature will be added soon to this Jira.
