Create tables

POST /api/meta/entity/bulk#createTables

Create one or more tables.

Note that the creation relies on no matches being found for the provided qualifiedNames. If any of the qualifiedNames match any existing table, those tables will be updated rather than created. Also be aware that the qualifiedName is case-sensitive.

For more details on the semantics and other attributes available through this interface, see the Upsert entities operation.

Body Required

List of tables to create.
