Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Currently, the CreateExternalTable definition is just a stringified version of the statement, rather than the original SQL that was parsed.
### Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to propose capturing the original SQL as provided and storing that instead so that when a definition is displayed, it matches what a user originally provided.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Nothing comes to mind. Its a fairly small change.
### Additional context
_No response_

Research direction
Start by locating CreateExternalTable::definition and follow how the statement is parsed and its definition is stored. Check the existing tests around CreateExternalTable display or parsing, then verify that the displayed definition preserves the SQL originally provided rather than a stringified statement.
