Remarks

The CreateTable method can be used to create a new table or object class in the workspace.

The optional CLSID and EXTCLSID parameters allow the calling application to specify the GUIDs for the objects that implement the instance and the class extension behavior for an object class. If no CLSID is passed in, then the resulting table is not registered in the geodatabase object class data dictionary (It will support the IObjectClass interface but will have an ObjectClassID of –1). Valid values for CLSID are esriGeoDatabase.Object or any non-spatial object that extends esriGeoDatabase.Object. CLSID must be set in order to apply a class extension with the EXTCLSID parameter.

The Fields object passed to the Fields parameter should not be an object retrieved from another class. If the new class is going to have the same fields as an existing class, cast the existing class' fields collection to the IClone interface, clone it, and use the cloned fields collection as input for this method.

The optional configurationKeyword parameter allows the application to control the physical layout for this table in the underlying RDBMS. For example, in an Oracle database, the configuration keyword controls the tablespace in which the table is created, the initial and next extents, and other properties. The configuration keywords for an ArcSDE instance are set up by the ArcSDE data administrator, the list of available keywords supported by a workspace may be obtained using the IWorkspaceConfiguration interface.

Note: Table or feature class names with the following prefixes are not supported:

• "gdb_"
• "sde_"
• "delta_"
