Description
Using the CMutil app with option DDLType: SynapseExternalTable. The Tables definition are created successfully, but ALL date datatype columns are created with nvarchar datatype.
if I used DDLType: SynapseView, the columns are created with correct datatypes (DateTime).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the CMDutil app with DDLType set to SynapseExternalTable and compare its generated table definitions with the SynapseView output. Check that date datatype columns are emitted as DateTime rather than nvarchar; done means the external-table definitions preserve the expected date types.
