I think we are disagreeing over semantics.

I consider DDL to be the command that creates (or modifies) the object,
i.e. CREATE TABLE emp <...>; This command is not stored in the data
dictionary.

However, all the information to reconstruct this command IS stored in
the data dictionary and can be extracted using a variety of
tools/techniques.
