The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an Amazon Web
Services account, table names must be unique within each Region. That is, you can
have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different Regions.
CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateTable
request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus of CREATING.
After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus to ACTIVE.
You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE table.
You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable
operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you
must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be
in the CREATING state at any given time.
You can use the DescribeTable action to check the table status.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginCreateTable and EndCreateTable.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InternalServerErrorException | An error occurred on the server side. |
| LimitExceededException | There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken. For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable, UpdateTable, DeleteTable,UpdateTimeToLive, RestoreTableFromBackup, and RestoreTableToPointInTime. When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations. When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account. There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables. GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter. More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling. |
| ResourceInUseException | The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example, you attempted to recreate an existing table, or tried to delete a table currently in the CREATING state. |
