This is a Streamsheets Premium feature.
Creates a table in the timescaledb and sets up its schema. Click here for a more detailed tutorial on timescaledb functions.

As of right now, the timescale functions work with the internal timescaledb. Leave the Producer parameter empty and the connection is setup. We are working on allowing further timescale connections.
