[REQUIRED]
The catalog database in which to create the new table. For Hive compatibility, this name is entirely lowercase.
dict
[REQUIRED]
The TableInput object that defines the metadata table to create in the catalog.
Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

Description (string) --
A description of the table.
Owner (string) --
The table owner.
LastAccessTime (datetime) --
The last time that the table was accessed.
LastAnalyzedTime (datetime) --
The last time that column statistics were computed for this table.
Retention (integer) --
The retention time for this table.
StorageDescriptor (dict) --
A storage descriptor containing information about the physical storage of this table.
Columns (list) --
A list of the Columns in the table.
(dict) --
A column in a Table .
Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the Column .
Type (string) --
The data type of the Column .
Comment (string) --
A free-form text comment.
Parameters (dict) --
These key-value pairs define properties associated with the column.
(string) --
(string) --
Location (string) --
The physical location of the table. By default, this takes the form of the warehouse location, followed by the database location in the warehouse, followed by the table name.

(string) --
(string) --
StoredAsSubDirectories (boolean) --
True if the table data is stored in subdirectories, or False if not.
PartitionKeys (list) --
A list of columns by which the table is partitioned. Only primitive types are supported as partition keys.
When you create a table used by Amazon Athena, and you do not specify any partitionKeys , you must at least set the value of partitionKeys to an empty list. For example:
