Any imports using scoop creates a managed table, in real world scenario it is very important to have EXTERNAL tables. As of now we have to execute ALTER statement to change table properties to make the the table as external table which is not a big deal but it would nice have an option in scoop to specify type of table which is required -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
