Subcommands

mc table includes the following subcommands:

Subcommand Description
create Create a new table.
config Generate query engine configuration for catalog.

namespace Manage namespaces.
remove Delete a table.
rename Rename a table.
replicate Manage table replication.

tag Manage table tags.
view Manage views.
warehouse Manage warehouses.

You must create or remove warehouses, namespaces, and tables in the correct order. First create the warehouse, then namespaces in that warehouse, then tables in a namespace. To delete resources, perform these actions in the opposite order.

For example, to create a table in a new warehouse:

  1. Create warehouse mywarehouse.
  2. Create namespace mynamespace.
  3. Create table mytable.
