create_table

Create a new table

Creates a new table with the given type (definition of columns). The type is specified in type_id as either a numerical type ID (as returned by /create/type) or as a list of columns, each specified as a list of the column name, data type, and any column attributes.

Example of a type definition with some parameters::

[
    ["id", "int8", "primary_key"],
    ["dept_id", "int8", "primary_key", "shard_key"],
    ["manager_id", "int8", "nullable"],
    ["first_name", "char32"],
    ["last_name", "char64"],
    ["salary", "decimal"],
    ["hire_date", "date"]
]

Each column definition consists of the column name (which should meet the standard column naming criteria), the column’s specific type (int, long, float, double, string, bytes, or any of the properties map values from /create/type), and any data handling, data key, or data replacement properties.

A table may optionally be designated to use a replicated distribution scheme, or be assigned: foreign keys to other tables, a partitioning scheme, and/or a tier strategy.

• table_name - Name of the table to be created, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules and meeting table naming criteria. Error for requests with existing table of the same name and type ID may be suppressed by using the no_error_if_exists option.
• type_id - The type for the table, specified as either an existing table’s numerical type ID (as returned by /create/type) or a type definition (as described above).

Sends a pre-built CreateTableRequest to the /create/table endpoint.

Sends a pre-built CreateTableRequest to a specific worker URL, bypassing HA head-node selection. Used for multi-head access.
