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. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# 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
$bTls = 1;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("myaccount.table.core.windows.net",$port,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success != 1) {
    print "ConnectFailReason: " . $rest->get_ConnectFailReason() . "\r\n";
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
$azAuth = chilkat::CkAuthAzureStorage->new();
$azAuth->put_AccessKey("AZURE_ACCESS_KEY");
# The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
$azAuth->put_Account("myaccount");
$azAuth->put_Scheme("SharedKey");
$azAuth->put_Service("Table");

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
$azAuth->put_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"
# }
