Manage tables
Manage tables in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster. A table is a collection of related data stored in table format.
In previous versions of InfluxDB and in the context of InfluxQL, tables are known as “measurements.”
Create a table
Use the Admin UI, the influxctl table create command, or the Management HTTP API for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated to create a new table in a specified database your InfluxDB cluster. Create a table with the same partitioning as the database or with a custom partition template.
CLI
influxctl table create <DATABASE_NAME> <TABLE_NAME>
API
curl \
--location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/databases/DATABASE_NAME/tables/" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \
--json '{ "name": "TABLE_NAME" }'
List tables
Use the Admin UI, the SHOW TABLES SQL statement, or the SHOW MEASUREMENTS InfluxQL statement to list tables in a database.
SQL
SHOW TABLES
InfluxQL
