Geoprocessing tools have names like:

  • Create Database View
  • Make Query Layer
  • Generate Definition Query From Selection

What's the reason for using Create vs. Make. vs. Generate? Does the word usage indicate the type of object that's created? Such as a persistent object, a temporary object, or a calculated list/records?
