除了DML之外的所有查询都通过ProcessUtility模块来执行，包括了各类DDL语句、事务相关语句、游标相关语句等。上层调用函数为exec_simple_query函数，其中PortalStart函数和PortalDrop函数部分较为简单。核心函数是PortalRun函数下层调用的standard_ProcessUtility函数，该函数通过switch case语句处理了各种类型的查询语句，包括事务相关查询、游标相关查询、schema相关操作、表空间相关操作、表定义相关操作等。
standard_ProcessUtility函数会根据nodeTag(parsetree)的值来确定sql的操作类型，create table一般都是进入T_CreateStmt分支，调用CreateCommand函数。
void standard_ProcessUtility(Node* parse_tree, const char* query_string, ParamListInfo params, bool is_top_level,
DestReceiver* dest,#ifdef PGXC
bool sent_to_remote,#endif /* PGXC */
char* completion_tag,
bool isCTAS)
{
……
errno_t errorno = EOK;
switch (nodeTag(parse_tree)) { // 根据nodeTag(parsetree)的值来确定sql的操作类型
……
case T_CreateStmt: { // create table#ifdef PGXC
CreateCommand((CreateStmt*)parse_tree, query_string, params, is_top_level, sent_to_remote, isCTAS);#else
CreateCommand((CreateStmt*)parse_tree, query_string, params, is_top_level, isCTAS);#endif
} break;
……
CreateCommand函数先解析parse_tree获取stmt，如果stmt为空则表明表已经存在。如果stmt不为空对stmts进行遍历，如果是 CreateStmt就调用DefineRelation。AlterTableCreateToastTable判断是否需要创建toast表并创建，AlterCStoreCreateTables判断是否需要创建列存表并创建。

stmts = transformCreateStmt((CreateStmt*)parse_tree, query_string, NIL, true, &namespace_id, is_first_node);

stmts = transformCreateStmt((CreateStmt*)parse_tree, query_string, NIL, false, &namespace_id); /*

*/
if (stmts == NIL) { // 如果stmt为空则表明表已经存在
table_is_exist = true;

foreach (l, stmts) { // 遍历stmts
Node* stmt = (Node*)lfirst(l);
if (IsA(stmt, CreateStmt)) { // 如果是 CreateStmt就调用DefineRelation
Datum toast_options;
static const char* const validnsps[] = HEAP_RELOPT_NAMESPACES;
/* forbid user to set or change inner options */
ForbidOutUsersToSetInnerOptions(((CreateStmt*)stmt)->options);
/* Create the table itself */
rel_oid = DefineRelation((CreateStmt*)stmt,
((CreateStmt*)stmt)->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW ?
RELKIND_MATVIEW : RELKIND_RELATION,
InvalidOid, isCTAS);

AlterTableCreateToastTable(rel_oid, toast_options, AccessShareLock);
AlterCStoreCreateTables(rel_oid, toast_options, (CreateStmt*)stmt);
AlterDfsCreateTables(rel_oid, toast_options, (CreateStmt*)stmt);
AlterCreateChainTables(rel_oid, toast_options, (CreateStmt *)stmt);
……
DefineRelation函数获取到表名relname、名字空间relnamespace、表空间reltablespace、表类型relkind和relpersistence等信息后调用heap_create_with_catalog创建relation。
(gdb) f 0#0 heap_create_with_catalog (relname=0x7fb4fa872140 "t100", relnamespace=2200, reltablespace=0, relid=0, reltypeid=0, reloftypeid=0, ownerid=10, tupdesc=0x7fb4ff2e2e50, cooked_constraints=0x0, relkind=114 'r', relpersistence=112 'p', shared_relation=false, mapped_relation=false, oidislocal=false, oidinhcount=0, oncommit=ONCOMMIT_NOOP, reloptions=140415352057720, use_user_acl=true, allow_system_table_mods=false, partTableState=0x0, row_compress=1 '\001', bucketinfo=0x0, record_dependce=true, ceLst=0x0, storage_type=HEAP_DISK, partLockMode=1) at heap.cpp:2521
其中heap_create内部首先调用了RelationBuildLocalRelation创建RelationData，并加入到relCache，RelationData表示一个表的元信息，这些信息都可以由系统表元组中的信息构造得到。然后根据这些信息通过调用RelalionCreateStorage函数创建物理文件。heap_create_with_catalog主要完成表物理文件的创建和表元信息注册到系统表中，涉及系统包包括pg_class，pg_attribute，pg_depend，pg_object，pg_type，pg_index和pg_partition。
