I pretty sure when we create the table, those DDL will be stored, for example, create table temp .....
and this statement will be stored in Oracle somewhere.

but later on, I want to see how those table created. so is there any way to retrieve the DDL?

"create table ..." statementb is never stored by oracle.but it store necessary information about the table.

see user_tables and user_tab_columns for such information
