What pain point is this feature intended to address? Please describe.
DDL/DML are generally considered a part of SQL. We should consider adding support (via Vizual operations) for DDL/DML-style operations via SQL cells.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow users to perform the following operations in a SQL cell (possibly multiple, separated by semicolons)
CREATE TABLE -> translate into an inline table with no rows
UPDATE TABLE -> translate into a view definition a'la Vizual
INSERT INTO -> translate into a UNION query
DELETE FROM -> translate into a SELECT FROM WHERE view definition
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN -> SELECT FROM
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN -> SELECT FROM
maybe others?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Most of these operations can be replicated via Vizual or spreadsheet commands.
