function New-DbaDbTable { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new table in a database .DESCRIPTION Creates a new table in a database .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER Database The database or databases where the table will be created .PARAMETER Name The name of the table .PARAMETER Schema The schema for the table, defaults to dbo .PARAMETER ColumnMap Hashtable for easy column creation. See Examples for details .PARAMETER ColumnObject If you want to get fancy, you can build your own column objects and pass them in .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piped input from Get-DbaDatabase .PARAMETER AnsiNullsStatus No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER ChangeTrackingEnabled No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER DataSourceName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER Durability No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER ExternalTableDistribution No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileFormatName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileGroup No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileStreamFileGroup No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileStreamPartitionScheme No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileTableDirectoryName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileTableNameColumnCollation No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER FileTableNamespaceEnabled No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER HistoryTableName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER HistoryTableSchema No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsExternal No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsFileTable No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsMemoryOptimized No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsSystemVersioned No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER Location No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER LockEscalation No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER Owner No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER PartitionScheme No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER QuotedIdentifierStatus No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RejectSampleValue No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RejectType No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RejectValue No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteDataArchiveDataMigrationState No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteDataArchiveEnabled No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteDataArchiveFilterPredicate No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteObjectName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteSchemaName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteTableName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RemoteTableProvisioned No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER ShardingColumnName No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER TextFileGroup No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER TrackColumnsUpdatedEnabled No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER HistoryRetentionPeriod No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER HistoryRetentionPeriodUnit No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER DwTableDistribution No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER RejectedRowLocation No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER OnlineHeapOperation No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER LowPriorityMaxDuration No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER DataConsistencyCheck No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER LowPriorityAbortAfterWait No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER MaximumDegreeOfParallelism No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsNode No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsEdge No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER IsVarDecimalStorageFormatEnabled No information provided by Microsoft .PARAMETER Passthru Don't create the table, just print the table script on the screen. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: table Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl) Website: https://dbatools.io
