I'm still having difficulty on linked drawing. The manual said that I have to create table in geometry data. How it can be linked after tables are created?

I think I know what you mean, or at least how you feel. I found linking queries tedious too. Let me show some keyboard shortcuts I now use. It helps.

    Data source: This project [Home key or hold Up key][Enter]

        Type: Table with geometry column [Down][Tab]

        Source: {the source table} [First few characters of query/table name]

        Columns: {any columns you need} 

        Geometry: {the source geometry column}

It can be scripted, if that is useful, in (at least) two ways.

First, following the same procedure as above, with user interface scripting. (There is no direct method to create a linked drawing in the object model.)

Secondly, by creating an empty new drawing and filling it with an INSERT INTO query (both inside a script).

Can you give us an example on how you want to link the table after they have been created?
