What happens when a table is created without defining columns?

Question

Is it possible to define columns after just creating a table without defining it's columns (for example, "CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME;")?

Answer 1

The SQL, CREATE TABLE statement requires column definition (it is not optional).
So, the statement 'CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME;' would not work.

Here is the sql CREATE TABLE syntax:
