Create a New Table in an Azure Storage Account

See more Azure Table Service Examples

Creates a new table using the Azure Table Service REST API. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

'  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

'  Implements the following CURL command:

'  curl -X POST \
'    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
'    -H "Accept: application/json;odata=fullmetadata" \
'    -H "Prefer: return-content" \
'    -d '{   
'      "TableName":"mytable"  
'  }' https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

'  Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
'  Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

'  IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
'  URL: https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

'  The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
azAuth.Account = "myaccount"
azAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey"
azAuth.Service = "Table"

'  This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2019-07-07"
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

'  Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
'  headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
'  are automatically set by Chilkat.

'  Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
'  The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
'  reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
'  made via the Connect method.

'  Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
'  Generate Code to Create JSON

'  The following JSON is sent in the request body.

'  {
'    "TableName": "mytable"
