Location transparency of remote data is enabled by creating a local proxy table that maps to the remote object. To create a proxy table you use one of the following statements:
If the table already exists at the remote storage location, use the CREATE EXISTING TABLE statement. This statement defines the proxy table for an existing table on the remote server.
If the table does not exist at the remote storage location, use the CREATE TABLE statement. This statement creates a new table on the remote server, and also defines the proxy table for that table.
