Create a new collection.
After creating a new collection, you might want to configure a different time-zone and/or deep value. The initial deep value and time zone are inherited from the @thingsdb scope.
See set_time_zone() and set_default_deep().
This function generates a change.
new_collection(name)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | str (required) | Name of the new collection. |
The user who has created the collection will automatically receive full
access rights to the new collection.
Use grant to give other users access to the collection.
Returns the new collection id if successful. A lookup_err() is raised
if the collection already exists.
This code will create a collection “awesome_things”:
// Creates a new collection
new_collection('awesome_things');
Example return value in JSON format (the new collection id)
