TIMESCALE.CREATE_TABLE
This is a premium feature.
Creates a table in the timescaledb and sets up its schema. The function is ignored if the table already exists.
info
As of right now, the timescale functions work with the internal timescaledb. Leave the Stream parameter empty and the connection is automatically set up. We are working on allowing further timescale connections.
