I have a dbf file, and I can see in the view that types of intersting fields are L ( I suppose it is logical type ) and M (I suppose it’s a Memo type)

I try to recreate dbf template using dbf_jdbc, like table:

 private static final String TABLE = "create table SAMPLE ( "
          + "   SM Logical, "
          + "   PRIM  MEMO " + ")";
...
String url = "jdbc:DBF:/C:\\TEST";
Connection dbfConn = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
...
// instantiate it
Class.forName( "com.hxtt.sql.dbf.DBFDriver" ).newInstance();
dbfConn = DriverManager.getConnection( url, properties );
Statement stmt = dbfConn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(TABLE);

But i’m getting the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error:  Stopped parse at MEMO
java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error:  Stopped parse at LOGICAL

The reason – type names, because when I use varchar, everythins is fine.

Dbf_jdbc version (from jar manifest file):

So my question is which sql type should I use so I could create dbf template using code and when I open a file using dbf viewer I could see letters M and L as type shortnames.
