Creating CDTs

Certified Senior Developer

What is the major difference between creating a table from CDT and  creating CDT from a table? On looking from the front end, both look similar. But the XSD file for both of them tell a different story. I have attached both the XSD files here. The one created from table is having columns defined while the other is not having such columns. Will this cause any issues?
