# 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](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tables/create/)

Use the Admin UI, the [`influxctl table create` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/create/), or the [Management HTTP API](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/) 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

```bash
influxctl table create <DATABASE_NAME> <TABLE_NAME>
```

##### API

```bash
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](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tables/list/)

Use the Admin UI, the [`influxctl table list` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/list/), the [`SHOW TABLES` SQL statement](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/query-data/sql/explore-schema/#list-measurements-in-a-database), or the [`SHOW MEASUREMENTS` InfluxQL statement](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/query-data/influxql/explore-schema/#list-measurements-in-a-database) to list tables in a database.

##### CLI

```sh
influxctl table list <DATABASE_NAME>
```

##### SQL

```sql
SHOW TABLES
```

##### InfluxQL

```sql
SHOW MEASUREMENTS
```

## [Rename a table](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tables/rename/)

Use the [`influxctl table rename` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/rename/) to rename a table in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

##### CLI

```sh
influxctl table rename <DATABASE_NAME> <CURRENT_TABLE_NAME> <NEW_TABLE_NAME>
```

## [Delete a table](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tables/delete/)

Use the Admin UI or the [`influxctl table delete` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/delete/) to delete a table from a database in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

```sh
influxctl table delete <DATABASE_NAME> <TABLE_NAME>
```

## [Undelete a table](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tables/undelete/)

Use the Admin UI or the [`influxctl table undelete` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/undelete/) to restore a previously deleted table in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

```bash
influxctl table undelete DATABASE_NAME TABLE_ID
```
