CreateTable() public method

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an AWS account, table names must be unique within each region. That is, you can have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different regions.

CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateTable request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus of CREATING. After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus to ACTIVE. You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE table.

You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.

You can use the DescribeTable API to check the table status.

/// An error occurred on the server side. /// /// The number of concurrent table requests (cumulative number of tables in the CREATING, /// DELETING or UPDATING state) exceeds the maximum allowed /// of 10. /// /// /// /// Also, for tables with secondary indexes, only one of those tables can be in the CREATING /// state at any point in time. Do not attempt to create more than one such table simultaneously. /// /// /// /// The total limit of tables in the ACTIVE state is 250. /// /// /// The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example, you attempted /// to recreate an existing table, or tried to delete a table currently in the CREATING /// state. ///

public CreateTable ( CreateTableRequest request ) : CreateTableResponse
request	Amazon.DynamoDBv2.Model.CreateTableRequest	Container for the necessary parameters to execute the CreateTable service method.
return	Amazon.DynamoDBv2.Model.CreateTableResponse

        public CreateTableResponse CreateTable(CreateTableRequest request)
        {
            var marshaller = new CreateTableRequestMarshaller();
            var unmarshaller = CreateTableResponseUnmarshaller.Instance;

            return Invoke<CreateTableRequest,CreateTableResponse>(request, marshaller, unmarshaller);
        }
